4.9. Channel Definition and Allocation

The Symmetric Cryptographic IP core supports up to 1,024 key slots to store the keys. A single key slot can store a single 256 bit or a single 128 bit key for GCM operations. Alternatively, a single key slot can store two keys each of size 128 bits or 256 bits for the XTS operations.

The Symmetric Cryptographic IP core can also store up to 1,024 AES intermediate states. Each state is associated with a cryptographic stream.

A cryptographic stream starts with a new IV or a tweak value followed by data. The data_last signal assertion indicates the end of the stream (plaintext or ciphertext). A cryptographic channel is a logical 1:1 mapping between the key slots and AES streams created by the AES/SM4 Inline Cryptographic Accelerator. You must manage the allocation of the channels to ensure the use cases do not overwrite each other's channels, keys or state.

Table 20.  Channel Allocation ExampleThe table depicts two cycles of channel allocation on channel 0 and channel 1.
