. We analysed that CSR has an API SMEncryptRawAes to encrypt 128 bits of data.

However we could not find a corresponding decrypt API. Is there an API which can decrypt data?

No, The AES engine supports AES-ECB "Electronic Code Book" which is a secure one-way function.

However, there are many AES cryptography modes that are based on AES-ECB such as AES-CTR AES-OFB and AES-CFB. Essentiually the idea of each of these is that you use AES-ECB to generate a "key stream" which you XOR with your plaintext. The other end generates the same "key stream" with AES-ECB and uses the XOR operation to get back to plaintext.

Hope that helps!

It not clear your use case, why you need Aes Encryption and Decryption with CSR1010  ?

Hi Dr Zur,

The data we get in our prototype is encrypted at the application level using known keys.  

That is the reason we needed to have decryption API.

Since you need  to encrypt and decrypt the data , you can use any open source code for that.
