CLP-11: Tiny AES Core

NIST has standardized on a new cipher which can be implemented efficiently in hardware and software. It is becoming the cornerstone of cryptography and is now included in IPsec, 802.11i, 802.15 and 802.16 among many others. The advanced encryption standard (AES) block from Elliptic is fully proven in silicon and now shipping in volume. The CLP-11 is a high performance cipher block that performs encryption, decryption and key expansion in a very small silicon area - perfect for applications where cost is paramount

• Throughput up to 40 Mbps
• Area: 8,000 ASIC gates for encrypt/decrypt, key expansion and interface logic
• 32 bit data and control bus interface
• Support for 128, 196 and 256 bit keys
• Automatic generation of key context from key data
• Core verified through NIST FIPS vectors ensure complete standards compliance
• Test bench provided

Applications:

• WLAN applications such as 802.11i
• IPSec designs in residential gateways, multi-service access products
• Military communications systems
• Secure video surveillance
• Secure audio communications
