Latest Patents
Heng Wee Cheng holds a patent for an "AES-GCM engine optimized for execute-in-place authenticated decryption." This invention discloses a system and method for performing execute-in-place operations, wherein the code is encrypted using AES-GCM and stored in an external memory device. The system features a single cipher function that encrypts three counter values used for decrypting the encrypted code and validating the Message Authentication Code (MAC). Notably, the system precalculates a hash subkey, allowing the generation of the Counter 0 value to commence as soon as a valid memory address is available. Furthermore, the cipher function is designed to utilize multiple cipher generation circuits alongside a single key expansion circuit, enhancing operational speed without duplicating the cipher function hardware. In another embodiment, the cipher function is unrolled, enabling two or more rounds of key expansion and cipher generation to occur each clock cycle. Heng holds 1 patent.
