CLP-11: Tiny AES Core

NIST has standardized on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher algorithm as specified by FIPS-197 which is used in many applications and can be implemented efficiently in hardware and software. AES has become the cornerstone of cryptography and is now included in IPsec, MACSec, 802.11i, 802.15 and 802.16 among many other security protocols.

The CLP-11: Tiny AES Core is a high performance cipher block that performs encryption, decryption and key expansion in a very small silicon area - perfect for applications where cost is paramount. It is fully proven in silicon and is now shipping in volume.
