Figure 109 illustrates the electronic codebook (ECB) encryption.
Figure 109. 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- or 256-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
output data block Cx. The ECB encryption continues in this way until the last complete
plaintext block is encrypted.
Figure 110 illustrates the electronic codebook (ECB) decryption.
Figure 110. ECB decryption
To perform an AES decryption in the ECB mode, the secret key has to be prepared by
collecting the last-round encryption key (which requires to first execute the complete key
schedule for encryption), and using it as the first-round key for the decryption of the
ciphertext. This preparation is supported by the AES core.
In ECB decrypt mode, the 128-bit ciphertext input data block C1 in the AES_DINR register
first goes through bit/byte/half-word swapping. The keying sequence is reversed compared
to that of the ECB encryption. The swap result I1 is processed with the AES core set in
decrypt mode, using the formerly prepared decryption key. The decryption result goes
through bit/byte/half-word swapping, then is stored in the AES_DOUTR register as 128-bit
plaintext output data block P1. The ECB decryption continues in this way until the last
complete ciphertext block is decrypted.
