16.3.2 CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) Encryption

The fastest way to accelerate this cipher mode is to upload the next plaintext during the current encryption.

An Initialization Vector (IV) is used to randomize the encryption so that distinct ciphertexts are produced even if the same plaintext is encrypted multiple times. Assuming initialization from reset state and denoting plaintext as an array, m[1:x]:

Initialization:

  • Write KEY0-KEY3
  • AUTOCFG
    • AESSRC = TXTXBUF
    • TRGAES = RDTXT3 | WRBUF3S (the first encryption starts by writing BUF3, the successive ones by reading TXT3)
  • Write IV to TXT0-TXT3

Cipher mode with µDMA:

Assumes CHA has written new plaintext to BUF before reading ciphertext.

  • µDMA channel A moves m[1:x] into BUF when a new encryption starts
    • ADRCHA = BUF0
    • TRGCHA = AESSTART
    • DONEACT = GATE_TRGAES_ON_CHA_DEL (to avoid spurious last AES operation).In case of single block encryption, configure DONEACT = GATE_TRGAES_ON_CHA
  • µDMA channel B moves ciphertext[1:x] to memory when AES completes
    • ADRCHB = TXT0
    • TRGCHB = AESDONE
  • START: CPU writes 0x1 to TRG.DMACHA to start CBC encryption. µDMA moves N x 16B.
  • END : CPU waits for µDMA to signal 'done' and STA.STATE = IDLE, then reads result/TAG/MIC from TXT0-TXT3.

Cipher mode with CPU:

  • Writes m[1] to BUF (triggers AES)
  • for i = 1; i<x, increment i:
    • Prepares m[i+1]
    • Wait until STA.STATE = BUSY || use interrupt (This can be skipped since AES is immediately triggered)
    • Writes m[i+1] to BUF
    • Waits for STA.STATE = IDLE || use interrupt
    • Reads ciphertext[i] from TXT
  • Last m(x):
    • Set AUTOCFG.TRGAES = DISABLE
    • Waits for STA.STATE = IDLE || use interrupt
    • Reads ciphertext[x] from TXT
Note: The loop can run over i=1:x, but then an additional AES encryption is triggered on the last read of TXT3. This can be aborted immediately after completing the x-th iteration of the for-loop.
