SNOW-V Stream Cipher Engine

Key Facts

  • The SNOW-V IP core implements the SNOW-V stream cipher mechanism, aiming to meet the security demands of modern high-speed communication systems. It conforms to the offi- cial SNOW-V mechanism, published in 2019 by the IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology, as an extensive revision of SNOW 3G stream cipher.
  • Optimized for ultra-high-speed communication, delivering throughput rates of over 140 Gbps in ASIC and 65 Gbps in FPGA implementations.
  • Ensures confidentiality and integrity with AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) capabilities by easily interoperating with a GMAC (Galois Message Authentication Code) security framework in a GCM (Galois/Counter mode) topology. Also seamlessly upgrades existing 4G/5G network encryption as a drop-in replacement for SNOW 3G.

Product information

Ths new SNOW-V Stream Cipher Engine provides a flexible and reusable hardware implementation [GA1] of the official SNOW-V mechanism as published in 2019 by the IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology. SNOW-V revises the SNOW 3G stream cipher algorithm to satisfy the high-speed, low-latency encryption requirements of mobile networks operating at 5G, 6G, and faster speeds.

Available now for ASICs or FPGAs, the company believes it to be the first such commercial IP core.

The SNOW-V core is optimized for ultra-high-speed communication, delivering throughput rates of over 140 Gbps in ASIC and 65 Gbps in FPGA implementations.
