5.3.1.2 AES-GFM

The GFM operation is often used as part of various AES cryptographic operations. This function has been provided to aid in the creation of operations that are not directly supported by the ATECC608A-TNGLoRaWAN. The output of this operation can be used in the AES-GCM AEAD functionality. This mode does not involve secrets or anything stored on the chip. If this mode is selected, the remaining mode bits are ignored.
