Secure Storage ICs

The main product that can benefit of the AES implementation described here is the so called multimedia card also known as a secure storage IC. This card is typically composed of a large flash memory, a fast I/O interface and some security logic. When a small CPU and a modular arithmetic coprocessor is incorporated, the AES implementation described here will provide new features like data encryption and decryption which will allow to build new applications like fast and secure memory personalization. This kind of applications require a fast encryption/decryption engine, as fast as the I/O interface to avoid a penalty during the execution time of the application.
