A High-Throughput Low-Power AES Cipher for Network Applications
Shinyi Lin, Chih-Tsun Huang · 2007
We propose a full-featured high-throughput low-power AES cipher which is suitable for widespread network applications. Different modes of operation are implemented, i.e., the ECB, CBC, CTR and CCM modes. Our cipher utilizes a cost-efficient two-stage pipeline for the CCM mode by a single datapath. With the design-for-test circuitry, the maximum throughput is 4.27 Gbps using a 0.13mum CMOS technology with a 333MHz clock rate. The hardware cost is 86.2K gates with the power of 40.9mW.
