The Symmetric Cryptographic Accelerator Hard IP is a 200 Gbps hard IP core implementing AES or SM4 encryption and decryption. Typically, the AES and SM4 standards are used to protect the confidentiality of network data in 5G, data center, medical, test and video, but can be used to secure any high-speed data in transit. In fact, this hard IP is called by Altera's MACsec IP solution as a hardened accelerator, but can be used in any application requiring these encryption standards. In addition, the XTS profile can be used in data storage applications.
