The Helion AES cores implement the 128-bit block-size NIST FIPS AES algorithm. Two main functions are available, encryption and decryption, and are offered separately for optimum flexibility. The encryptor core accepts a 128-bit plaintext input block, and generates a corresponding 128-bit ciphertext output block using a supplied 128-, 192-, or 256-bit AES key. The decryptor core provides the reverse function, generating plaintext from supplied ciphertext, using a similar AES key as was used for encryption.
