Cryptographic libraries for 8051 CPU

Cryptovia 8051 library supports the following security features for products based on the 8051 architecture:

 

AES Algorithms for 8051 CPU

FIPS 197 compliant

 

Three different AES implementations in 8051 assembly language are available:

  1. One has been designed for speed for products requiring high throughput.
  2. Another one has been optimized with small code footprint objective for products where any byte memory counts.
  3. The last one is a trade-off between speed and memory size.

 

The table below shows the memory occupation and the timings of the three implementations for each AES key length on a 8051 core.

Hash Functions for 8051 CPU

FIPS 180, FIPS 198 and RFC 1321 compliant

 

One implementation in 8051 assembly language of the hash functions MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256/224 and SHA-512/384 is available.
HMAC constructions based on those hash functions are also available.

 

The table below shows the memory occupation and the timings of the implementations on a 8051 core.

RSA Algorithms for 8051 CPU

PKCS #1 compliant

 

One RSA implementation, with the core routines written in 8051 assembly language, is available. The RSA computation using the CRT method is also supported.

 

In addition to plain RSA computations, the PSS signature scheme and the OAEP encryption padding method described in the PKCS #1 standard are also available.

 

The table below shows the memory occupation and the timings of the implementations on a 8051 core.
The figures for RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS are obtained with SHA-1 as the hash function for the mask generation function.

ECDSA for 8051 CPU

FIPS 186 compliant

 

One generic ECDSA implementation over prime fields, with the core routines written in 8051 assembly language, is available.
Both ECDSA signature generation and ECDSA signature verification are supported.

 

The implementation does not take advantage of specific characteristics of the elliptic curves, and hence can support any prime field elliptic curve of any size. Especially all the elliptic curves over prime fields defined in the FIPS 186 standard are supported.

 

The table below shows the memory occupation and the timings of the implementation on a 8051 core.
