CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM: Ciphers: AES

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM has multiple definitions:

Ciphers: AES found in arch/arm/crypto/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM:

Help text

Block ciphers: AES cipher algorithms (FIPS-197)

Architecture: arm

On ARM processors without the Crypto Extensions, this is the fastest AES implementation for single blocks. For multiple blocks, the NEON bit-sliced implementation is usually faster.

This implementation may be vulnerable to cache timing attacks, since it uses lookup tables. However, as countermeasures it disables IRQs and preloads the tables; it is hoped this makes such attacks very difficult.

Scalar AES cipher for ARM found in arch/arm/crypto/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM:

Help text

Use optimized AES assembler routines for ARM platforms.

AES cipher algorithms (ARM-asm) found in arch/arm/crypto/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM:

Use optimized AES assembler routines for ARM platforms.

AES cipher algorithms (FIPS-197). AES uses the Rijndael algorithm.

Rijndael appears to be consistently a very good performer in both hardware and software across a wide range of computing environments regardless of its use in feedback or non-feedback modes. Its key setup time is excellent, and its key agility is good. Rijndael's very low memory requirements make it very well suited for restricted-space environments, in which it also demonstrates excellent performance. Rijndael's operations are among the easiest to defend against power and timing attacks.

The AES specifies three key sizes: 128, 192 and 256 bits
