AES-GCM

Xiphera’s AES-GCM IP cores provide data confidentiality and authenticity. Our extreme-speed AES-GCM achieves hundreds of Gbps of throughput.

AES-GCM IP cores implement the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Galois Counter Mode (GCM). AES-GCM is a widely used cryptographic algorithm for Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) purposes, providing both data confidentiality and authenticity. AES-GCM IP cores work as building blocks in various cryptographic IP cores in Xiphera’s portfolio. The in-house designed, CAVP-validated AES-GCM cores are available for both optimal efficiency and high performance in both FPGA and ASIC implementations.
