The DES/3DES IP Core is designed to deliver efficient data encryption for ASIC and FPGA applications, aligning with the Data Encryption Standard (DES). It processes 64-bit blocks and supports multiple cipher modes including ECB and CBC. The ultra-compact design excels in conserving resources, occupying just 3K gates for triple DES implementations while maintaining high throughput rates of up to 3 Gbps. Implemented for fast deployment, this core facilitates secure mobile communications and secure financial transactions, meeting the highest standards set by national security protocols such as NIST FIPS 46-3.
