What is snow 3g and AES algorithms? can u please tell which spec is to refer

Question

I want to activate the inbuilt security engine which is provided by the freescale board. Can any one help how can we configure the board to activate it .

Answer 1

Its been discussed in the past
Both AES and SNOW 3G are encryption algorithms.

SNOW 3G:
Streamcipher
128-bit key, 128-bit IV
Generate Keystream: 10Kgates, 1.72 Gbps [SAGE06]

AES:
Blockcipher
128-bit block, 128,192 and 256-bit keys
Enc/Dec: 5.4Kgates, 311Mbps ~ 21Kgates, 2.6Gbps @ 0.13µm CMOS [SM03]

Search snow 3g algorithm spec you will get the first link as gsma standard and so for the AES its rfc3602.
