CCM3 802.15.3 AES Core
|
| |
General Description
|
Key Features
|
| |
|
Implementation
of the new WPAN security standard (802.15.3) requires
the NIST standard AES cipher in CTR and CBC modes (a.k.a.
CCM) for encryption and message authentication. The
CCM3 AES core is tuned for 802.15.3 applications and
as such requires much smaller gate count than a full
implementation. The core contains the base AES core
AES1 and is available for immediate licensing.
The design is fully synchronous and available in both
source and netlist form. |
Small size:
From 9,500 ASIC gates at 802.15.3 data Speeds.
Completely self-contained: does not require external
memory
Includes encryption, decryption, key expansion and
data interface
Support for Counter Mode Encryption (CTR) operation
and CCM extensions (Counter Mode with CBC MAC)
Automatic generation of key context from key data
Flow-through design
Test bench provided

Function Description
|
| |
|
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm is a new
NIST data encryption standard as defined in the
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips197/fips-197.pdf
The CCM3 implementation fully supports the AES algorithm
for 128 bit keys in Counter Mode (CTR) method of encryption
with CBC message integrity check as required by the CCM
protocol of the 802.15.3 standard.
The core is designed for flow-through operation, with byte-wide
input and output interfaces. CCM key and nonce
material precedes the frame in the flow of data. CCM3 supports
encrypt and decrypt modes

Export Permits
|
| |
US Bureau of Industry and Security has assigned
the export control classification number 5E002 to our AES
core. The core is eligible for the license exception ENC
under section 740.17(A) and (B)(1) of the export
administration regulations. See the
licensing basics page,
for links to US government sites and more details. |
