The AES-XTS solution by Helion is tailored for disk encryption, leveraging the Tweakable block cipher algorithm to provide enhanced data security at the sector level on storage devices. The AES-XTS mode is designed to prevent threats like copy-and-paste or dictionary attacks and can independently encrypt and decrypt data in sector-sized blocks.
This encryption core is crucial for safeguarding sensitive data on storage arrays, ensuring that identical plaintext blocks placed at different sectors result in distinct ciphertext. Helion offers a variety of AES-XTS cores to address differing data throughput needs, with capabilities ranging from less than 1Gbps to over 64Gbps, making it suitable for singular hard disks to large server arrays.
Helion's AES-XTS solutions can be deployed on both ASIC and FPGA platforms, ensuring maximum performance and resource efficiency across varied technological landscapes. They support key sizes of 128-bit and 256-bit, with options for Ciphertext Stealing, adapting to diverse encryption protocols and operational environments.
