Detailed Description

AES Device Interface Functions

This API assumes transactional nature of work, where the peripheral is configured once per message (data consisting of 1..N 128-bit blocks), and then "de-initialised" when this message has been fully encrypted/decrypted.

The peripheral is configured through one of the cipher mode "start" functions: dif_aes_start_ecb, dif_aes_start_cbc, ... .

Then the encryption/decryption data is fed one 128-bit block at the time through dif_aes_load_data function. The cipher mode operation details are described in the description of above mentioned "start" functions. When configured in "automatic" operation mode, every "load data" call, will trigger encryption/decryption. This is not true when in "manual" operation mode, where encryption/decryption is triggered by explicitly setting the aes.TRIGGER.START flag through dif_aes_trigger call.

When an entire requested message has been processed the internal state of AES registers must be securely cleared, by calling dif_aes_end.

Please see the following documentation for further information: https://docs.opentitan.org/hw/ip/aes/doc/ https://csrc.nist.gov/csrc/media/publications/fips/197/final/documents/fips-197.pdf https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/SP/nistspecialpublication800-38a.pdf

◆ dif_aes_key_share_t

A typed representation of the AES key share.

Two part masked AES key, where XOR operation of these two parts results in the actual key.

◆ dif_aes_mask_reseeding_t

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ dif_aes_key_length

AES key length in bits.

Enumerator
kDifAesKey128 

128 bit wide AES key.

kDifAesKey192 

192 bit wide AES key.

kDifAesKey256

Definition at line 213 of file dif_aes.h.

◆ dif_aes_manual_operation

AES manual operation.

Enumerator
kDifAesManualOperationAuto 

AES operates in automatic mode - which means that the encryption/decryption is automatically triggered on every successful dif_aes_*_load_data().

kDifAesManualOperationManual 

AES operates in manual mode - which means that the encryption/decryption is manually triggered by dif_aes_trigger(kDifAesTriggerStart).

Definition at line 194 of file dif_aes.h.

Definition at line 230 of file dif_aes.h.

◆ dif_aes_mode

AES block cipher mode of operation.

Enumerator
kDifAesModeEcb 

The Electronic Codebook Mode.

In ECB cipher mode the key must be changed for every new block of data. This is the only secure way to use ECB cipher mode.

Note: The ECB cipher mode doesn't use the iv parameter of the dif_aes_start function.

Note: it is discouraged to use this cipher mode, due to impractical amount of different keys required to encrypt/decrypt multi-block messages.

kDifAesModeCbc 

The Cipher Block Chaining Mode.

In CBC cipher mode, the same key can be used for all messages, however new Initialisation Vector (IV) must be generated for any new message. The following condition must be true: The IV must be unpredictable (it must not be possible to predict the IV that will be associated to the plaintext in advance of the generation of the IV).

With key length less than 256 bits, the excess portion of the key can be written with any data (preferably random).

kDifAesModeCfb 

The Cipher Feedback Mode.

In CFB cipher mode, the same key can be used for all messages, however new Initialisation Vector (IV) must be generated for any new message. The following condition must be true: The IV must be unpredictable (it must not be possible to predict the IV that will be associated to the plaintext in advance of the generation of the IV).

With key length less than 256 bits, the excess portion of the key can be written with any data (preferably random).

kDifAesModeOfb 

The Output Feedback Mode.

In OFB cipher mode, the same key can be used for all messages, and the Initialization Vector (IV) need NOT be unpredictable. The following conditions must be true: OFB mode requires a unique initialization vector for every message that is ever encrypted under a given key, across all messages.

With key length less than 256 bits, the excess portion of the key can be written with any data (preferably random).

kDifAesModeCtr 

The Counter Mode.

In CTR cipher mode, the same key can be used for all messages, if the following condition is true: CTR mode requires a unique counter block for each plaintext block that is ever encrypted under a given key, across all messages.

With key length less than 256 bits, the excess portion of the key can be written with any data (preferably random).

Definition at line 101 of file dif_aes.h.

◆ dif_aes_operation

Enumerator
kDifAesStatusIdle 

Device is idle.

kDifAesStatusStall 

Device has stalled (only relevant in automatic operation mode).

Output data overwrite protection.

kDifAesStatusOutputLost 

Output data has been overwritten by the AES unit before the processor could fully read it.

This bit is "sticky" for the entire duration of the current transaction.

kDifAesStatusOutputValid 

Device output is valid/ready.
