Ascon IP core implements a lightweight, sponge-based encryption algorithm, being ideal for constrained environments such as IoT devices. Ascon performs three cryptographic primitives: Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD), hashing, and extendable output function (XOF), offering a smaller alternative for e.g. AES-GCM and SHA-3 IP cores.

Key Features

Small Resource Requirements: XIP2201B requires only approximately 2100 Logic Elements (LEs) on a typical FPGA implementation and can still provide over 2 Gbps throughput.
Versatile Algorithm Support: XIP2201B supports ASCON-128/128a/80pq/Hash/Hasha as well as XOF and XOFa. In other words, XIP2201B supports all parameterized algorithms given in [2].
Secure Architecture: The execution time of XIP2201B is independent of the input values and, consequently, provides full protection against timing-based side-channel attacks.
Standard Compliance: XIP2201B is compliant with Ascon specification 1.2 (31.05.2021) [2] which is the version that was selected to be standardized by NIST [1]. Xiphera commits to update XIP2201B when the standardization proceeds to newer versions.
Easy Integration: The 64-bit interface of XIP2201B supports easy integration to various systems.
