CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM_BS: Ciphers: AES, modes: ECB/CBC/CTR/XTS (bit-sliced NEON)

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM_BS has multiple definitions:

Ciphers: AES, modes: ECB/CBC/CTR/XTS (bit-sliced NEON) found in arch/arm/crypto/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM_BS:

• prompt: Ciphers: AES, modes: ECB/CBC/CTR/XTS (bit-sliced NEON)
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON
• defined in arch/arm/crypto/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 6.1-rc+HEAD
• modules built: aes-arm-bs, aes-arm-bs

Length-preserving ciphers: AES cipher algorithms (FIPS-197) with block cipher modes: - ECB (Electronic Codebook) mode (NIST SP800-38A) - CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) mode (NIST SP800-38A) - CTR (Counter) mode (NIST SP800-38A) - XTS (XOR Encrypt XOR with ciphertext stealing) mode (NIST SP800-38E and IEEE 1619)

Bit sliced AES gives around 45% speedup on Cortex-A15 for CTR mode and for XTS mode encryption, CBC and XTS mode decryption speedup is around 25%. (CBC encryption speed is not affected by this driver.) This implementation does not rely on any lookup tables so it is believed to be invulnerable to cache timing attacks.
