The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Data Encryption Standard (DES) are two com-
monly used standards for encryption. These are supported through an AES peripheral module
and a DES core instruction.
DES is supported by a DES instruction in the AVR XMEGA CPU. The 8-byte key and 8-byte
data blocks must be loaded into the Register file, and then DES must be executed 16 times to
encrypt/decrypt the data block.
The AES Crypto Module encrypts and decrypts 128-bit data blocks with the use of a 128-bit key.
The key and data must be loaded into the module before encryption/decryption is started. It
takes 375 peripheral clock cycles before encrypted/decrypted data can be read out.
