The Helion AES Key Wrap Cores implement the AES Key Wrap and Unwrap algorithms as described in the NIST AES Key Wrap Specification (November 2001). They also fully support the AESKW algorithm proposed in the draft key wrap standard, ANS X9.102. They are ideally suited for protecting cryptographic keys within applications where the key material must either be transmitted over insecure communication channels, or stored within untrusted environments where required by the Key Management scheme.
