Bit 0 – CIPHER: Processing Mode

Processing Mode

Value	Description
0	Decrypts data.
1	Encrypts data.

Bit 1 – GTAGEN: GCM Automatic Tag Generation Enable

GCM Automatic Tag Generation Enable

Value	Description
0	Automatic GCM Tag generation disabled.
1	Automatic GCM Tag generation enabled.

Bit 3 – DUALBUFF: Dual Input Buffer

Dual Input Buffer

Value	Name	Description
0	INACTIVE	AES_IDATARx cannot be written during processing of previous block.
1	ACTIVE	AES_IDATARx can be written during processing of previous block when SMOD = 2. It speeds up the overall runtime of large files.

Bits 7:4 – PROCDLY[3:0]: Processing Delay

Processing Delay

Processing Time = N × (PROCDLY + 1)

where

N = 10 when KEYSIZE = 0
N = 12 when KEYSIZE = 1
N = 14 when KEYSIZE = 2

The processing time represents the number of clock cycles that the AES needs in order to perform one encryption/decryption.

Note: The best performance is achieved with PROCDLY equal to 0.

Bits 9:8 – SMOD[1:0]: Start Mode

Start Mode

If a DMA transfer is used, configure SMOD to 2. See DMA Mode for more details.

Value	Name	Description
0	MANUAL_START	Manual Mode
1	AUTO_START	Auto Mode
2	IDATAR0_START	AES_IDATAR0 access only Auto Mode (DMA)

Bits 11:10 – KEYSIZE[1:0]: Key Size

Key Size

Value	Name	Description
0	AES128	AES Key Size is 128 bits
1	AES192	AES Key Size is 192 bits
2	AES256	AES Key Size is 256 bits

Bits 14:12 – OPMOD[2:0]: Operating Mode

Operating Mode

For CBC-MAC operating mode, set OPMOD to CBC and LOD to 1.

Value	Name	Description
0	ECB	ECB: Electronic Codebook mode
1	CBC	CBC: Cipher Block Chaining mode
2	OFB	OFB: Output Feedback mode
3	CFB	CFB: Cipher Feedback mode
4	CTR	CTR: Counter mode (16-bit internal counter)
5	GCM	GCM: Galois/Counter mode

Bit 15 – LOD: Last Output Data Mode

Last Output Data Mode

Warning: In DMA mode, reading to the Output Data registers before the last data encryption/decryption process may lead to unpredictable results.

Value	Description
0	No effect. After each end of encryption/decryption, the output data are available either on the output data registers (Manual and Auto modes) or at the address specified in the Channel Buffer Transfer Descriptor for DMA mode. In Manual and Auto modes, the DATRDY flag is cleared when at least one of the Output Data registers is read.
1	The DATRDY flag is cleared when at least one of the Input Data Registers is written. No more Output Data Register reads are necessary between consecutive encryptions/decryptions (see Last Output Data Mode).

Bits 18:16 – CFBS[2:0]: Cipher Feedback Data Size

Cipher Feedback Data Size

Value	Name	Description
0	SIZE_128BIT	128-bit
1	SIZE_64BIT	64-bit
2	SIZE_32BIT	32-bit
3	SIZE_16BIT	16-bit
4	SIZE_8BIT	8-bit

Bits 23:20 – CKEY[3:0]: Key

Key

Value	Name	Description
0xE	PASSWD	This field must be written with 0xE the first time AES_MR is programmed. For subsequent programming of AES_MR, any value can be written, including that of 0xE. Always reads as 0.

Value

Name

Description

0xE

PASSWD

This field must be written with 0xE the first time AES_MR is programmed. For subsequent programming of AES_MR, any value can be written, including that of 0xE.

Always reads as 0.
