CLP-14: High Throughput AES Core

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) has been standardized by NIST to replace the Data Encryption Standard. It is rapidly becoming the cornerstone of cryptography is now included in SSL, IPSec and many other applications. The CLP-14 core is the silicon-proven and is available for immediate licensing.

Key Features:

• Throughput of up to 4 Gbps
• Supports ECB and CBC modes
• OFB, CFB, CTR and OMAC versions available
• Support for 128, 192 and 256 bit keys
• Area: 41,000 ASIC gates
• Cores include context memory for rapid context switching (number of contexts is compile-time configurable)
• Flow-through or co-processor data flow formats available.
• 32 bit data interface
• Key expander options to suit the application
• Key memory accessible through separate memory interface
• Test bench and synthesis scripts provided

Applications:

• IPSec and SSL designs in enterprise routers and switches
• Optical transmission and core routers
• Storage - SAN/NAS applications
