The accelerator supports the block cipher modes approved by NIST SP800-38A.
• Electronic Code Book (ECB)
• Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)
• Cipher Feedback (CFB)
• Output Feedback (OFB)
• Counter (CTR)
In the simplest mode Electronic Code Book (ECB), each data block is simply encrypted or decrypted using the cipher. A side
effect of this is that identical data blocks will encrypt to the same ciphertext. Various modes of operation are used that
chain or feedback ciphertext from the previous block to seed the next encryption operation. This causes identical, plain-text
data blocks to encrypt to different ciphertexts.
