<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>

<p>Implementation results for Xilinx Artix7-t200.</p>

<p>Old Cryptech AES core:</p>

<ul>
<li>2094 slices</li>
<li>2854 regs</li>
<li>114 MHz (8.76ns)</li>
</ul>

<p>Cryptec AES speed core:</p>

<ul>
<li>2112 slices</li>
<li>2984 regs</li>
<li>116 MHz. (8.62ns)</li>
</ul>
