Symmetric

Ellipsys^TM is part of the Ellipsys Security Architecture (ESA) which offers a comprehensive set of encryption and certificate processing functions for embedded applications. The library features a collection of the most widely used symmetric and asymmetric cryptography algorithms, and is offered in a number of different packages to best suit the needs of customers.

Release 3.2 of the library is available now. Ellipsys is certified under the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) Crypto Algorithm Verification Program (CAVP), making it an ideal starting point for systems that will be certified for FIPS 140-2 compliance.

Ellipsys is designed as a portable library capable of targeting any of the embedded environments in common use today ranging from Linux, Windows Mobile, VxWorks, iTRON and WindRiver. The library provides a well-defined modular interface to embedded hardware cryptographic offload functions which can greatly accelerate cryptographic throughput. By leveraging the fully proven, efficient implementation of cryptographic algorithms available from Elliptic, developers can reduce time to market, meet their overall performance goals and avoid pitfalls that might open up security holes.

Customers requiring only the symmetric package can choose between the ESS-01-AES which supports AES in multiple modes and the ESS-01 which supports most popular symmetric algorithms.

For customers requiring support for 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced security or the Japanese high definition cipher MULTI2 please inquire about an extended license supporting these ciphers.

For a preview of the library, please follow either of the links below to see sample code for a cipher and hash operation. A simple registration process is required.

Ellipsys ESS-01 supports the following ciphers:

Block ciphers can be operated in a variety of modes to support standards such as IPsec, IEEE P1619, IEEE 802.1ae MACsec, IEEE 802.16 WiMAX, and IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi (among many others). Many block cipher modes are supported, including:

The following hashes and Message Authentication Code (MAC) are supported in the ESS-01 library:

Additional packages are available from Elliptic, such as the ESS-02 with support for RSA and ECC operations, and ESS-Pkg which combines both symmetric and asymmetric libraries into a single bundle.
