IPSEC AES-256-GCM


IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a widely implemented protocol to secure communications across the Internet. Xiphera’s Ipsec extreme speed IP core enhances secure communication at layer three (Network) of the OSI model, ensuring the authenticity and confidentiality of data traffic with up to 400G linerates. It leverages the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Galois Counter Mode (GCM) with a 256-bit key length, for Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) frame processing within the IPsec protocol.


Features and Benefits


  • Performance:
    • The extreme-speed IPSEC AES-256 achieves a throughput exceeding 200 Gbps in modern high-end FPGAs and ASICs.
    • Does not require any extra interpacket gap cycles even when it processes short packets.
    • The latency is fixed, and it does not depend on the length of the input packet. 
  • Standard Compliance:
    • Compliant with RFC4303 [3].
    • The cipher suite (AES-256GCM) is fully compliant with the Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES) standard [1], as well as with the Galois Counter Mode (GCM) standard [2]. 
  • Easy Interfacing:
    • Uses a streaming interface for payload data and side-channel signalling for the required ESP packet parameters.
