AES-GCM combines the Advanced Encryption Standard with the Galois/Counter Mode of operation to provide an authenticated encryption solution that ensures both confidentiality and data integrity. Helion's AES-GCM IP cores are optimized for high efficiency and are suitable for use in FPGAs and ASICs across various technical fields.
AES-GCM is particularly advantageous for scenarios requiring high-speed data processing with robust security. It achieves this by encrypting data and producing an authentication tag simultaneously, which simplifies the process of securing data streams and verifying data authenticity. This dual function of encryption and integrity check within a single operation enhances performance, making it ideal for secure communication protocols, secure video streaming, and cloud storage solutions.
The implementation by Helion is characterized by its adaptability and ease of integration, allowing seamless deployment into existing systems. The IP core supports various key sizes and offers substantial flexibility in operational parameters, ensuring it can be tailored to meet specific security needs while optimizing resource usage and maintaining power efficiency.
