+<h1>aes_speed</h1>
+
+<p>Speed optimized Verilog implementation of the symmetric block cipher AES
+(Advanced Encryption Standard) as specified in the NIST document <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips197/fips-197.pdf">FIPS
+197</a>.</p>
+
+<p>This core is modified version of the Cryptech AES core. Note that the
+name of the core modules are identical to that core. The purpose of this
+is to allow a drop-in replacement in Cryptech designs.</p>
+
+<h2>Status</h2>
+
+<p>Second round of optimizations done. Core similates correctly. Core has
+been implemented in FPGA, but not functionally tested in real HW.</p>
+
+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>This implementation supports 128 and 256 bit keys. The
+implementation is iterative and process one 128 block at a time.</p>
+
+<p>The encipher and decipher block processing datapaths are separated and
+basically self contained given access to a set of round keys and a
+block. This makes it possible to hard wire either encipher or decipher
+and allow the build tools to optimize away the other functionality which
+will reduce the size to about 50%. For cipher modes such as CTR, GCM
+decryption in the AES core will never be used and thus the decipher
+block processing can be removed.</p>
+
+<p>The core has been equipped with 16 S-boxes for encipher and 16 Inverse
+S-boxes for decipher. This allows the core to perform the SubBytes and
+InverseSubBytes operations in the AES round functions in one cycle.</p>
+
+<p>The key expansion does not share S-boxes with the encipher datapath, so
+the total number of S-boxes is 40.</p>
+
+<h2>Performance comparison</h2>
+
+<p>Number of cycles for the old Cryptech AES core:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>AES-128 Encipher one block with key expansion: 57</li>
+<li>AES-256 Decipher one block with key expansion: 77</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Number of cycles for the Cryptech AES speed core:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>AES-128 Encipher one block with key expansion: 16</li>
+<li>AES-255 Decipher one block with key expansion: 20</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Implementation comparison</h2>
