The cores are sold and supported by Xilinx AllianceCORE partner, Xentec, Inc. of Ontario, Canada. The Xentec encryption cores, with the added flexibility of an FPGA, further extend the Xilinx leadership in secure data communications, paving the way for e-commerce.
Authorized users can only decrypt data with the same key.
Triple DES is a cascaded chain of three single DES functions to further enhance the security. In secure data communications, the same core is used at both transmit and receive ends. Both cores process a new encryption or decryption every 16 clock cycles. The small DES and triple-DES cores allow for easy integration with other Xilinx IP solutions to build large complex systems in Virtex series FPGAs. All Xentec products can be purchased directly from Xentec.
