DTHE stands for Data Transform and Hashing Engine. This module is a wrapper on top of the Crypto IP with some additional capability, including CRC and Checksum

Features Supported In Hardware

DTHE provides the following features:

• Symmetric encryption and decryption
  • AES: 128, 192, and 256 bit keys
  • Cipher modes ECB, CTR, CBC, GCM, CCM, F9, F8, XTS, CFB, ICM, CTR, CBC-MAC, CMAC based on AES
• Asymmetric cryptography
  • High performance PKA (public key engine) for large vector math/modulus operation
  • RSA2048, RSA3092, RSA4096
  • ECC (accelerated using PKA module)
• Hashing
  • MD5, SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512
  • HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA512 keyed hashing
• Random number generator
  • 128 bit True random number generator
  • 128 bit Deterministic random bit generator
• This module wraps following IP inside
  • EIP29T : PKA accelerator
  • EIP57T : SHA/MD5 accelerator
  • EIP36T : AES accelerator
  • EIP75T : True Random Number Generation

Apart from this the module holds HW accelerator for CRC and Checksum.

The IP supports the following features:

• Supports these CRC functions:
  • Bisync, Modbus, USB, ANSI X3.28, many others; also known as CRC-16 and CRC-16-ANSI : (x^16+x^15+x^2+1)
  • CRC16- /X.25 with Polynomial 0x1021 : (x^16+x^12+x^5+1)
  • CRC32-IEEE/MPEG2/Hamming with Polynomial 0x4C11DB7 : (x^32+x^26+x^23+x^22+x^16+x^12+x^11+x^10+x^8+x^7+x^5+x^4+x^2 + x+1)
  • CRC32-G.Hn/CRC32C with Polynomial 0x1EDC6F41: (x^32+x^28+x^27+x^26+x^25+x^23+x^22+x^20+x^19+x^18+x^14+x^13+ x^11+x^10+x^9+x^8+x^6+1)
• Supports TCP CheckSum (CSUM)

Functional description

• DTHE_open() checks if the DTHE_Handle is already open and if it is not open it continues to initialize the DTHE_Handle with the desired SOC configuration.
• The DTHE_Handle is further used by AES and SHA drivers.
• DTHE_close() takes DTHE_Handle as parameter and proceeds to check if handle is not NULL and whether handle is open, if both conditions are satisfied then after changing DTHE_Handle to NULL, SystemP_SUCCESS is returned.

DTHE API's Supported

• DTHE_init(): Initializes the DTHE module.
• DTHE_deinit(): This function de-initializes the DTHE.
• DTHE_open(): Function to open DTHE instance, enable DTHE engine.
• DTHE_close(): Function to close a DTHE module specified by the DTHE handle.
