24  * @brief <a href="/hw/ip/aes/doc/">AES</a> Device Interface Functions
25  *
26  * This API assumes transactional nature of work, where the peripheral is
27  * configured once per message (data consisting of 1..N 128-bit blocks), and
28  * then "de-initialised" when this message has been fully encrypted/decrypted.
29  *
30  * The peripheral is configured through one of the cipher mode "start"
31  * functions:
32  * `dif_aes_start_ecb`, `dif_aes_start_cbc`, ... .
33  *
34  * Then the encryption/decryption data is fed one 128-bit block at the
35  * time through `dif_aes_load_data` function. The cipher mode operation details
36  * are described in the description of above mentioned "start" functions. When
37  * configured in "automatic" operation mode, every "load data" call, will
38  * trigger encryption/decryption. This is not true when in "manual" operation
39  * mode, where encryption/decryption is triggered by explicitly setting the
40  * `aes.TRIGGER.START` flag through `dif_aes_trigger` call.
41  *
42  * When an entire requested message has been processed the internal state of
43  * AES registers must be securely cleared, by calling `dif_aes_end`.
44  *
45  * Please see the following documentation for further information:
46  * https://docs.opentitan.org/hw/ip/aes/doc/
