A detailed description of suspend/resume operations is in the sections dedicated to each
AES mode.
19.4.8 AES basic chaining modes (ECB, CBC)
Overview
This section gives a brief explanation of the four basic operation modes provided by the
AES computing core: ECB encryption, ECB decryption, CBC encryption and CBC
decryption. For detailed information, refer to the FIPS publication 197 from November 26,
2001.
Figure 91 illustrates the electronic codebook (ECB) encryption.
Figure 91. ECB encryption
In ECB encrypt mode, the 128-bit plaintext input data block Px in the AES_DINR register
first goes through bit/byte/half-word swapping. The swap result Ix is processed with the AES
core set in encrypt mode, using a 128--bit key. The encryption result Ox goes through
bit/byte/half-word swapping, then is stored in the AES_DOUTR register as 128-bit ciphertext
