🧪 Why Validate with NIST Test Vectors?

The AES-GCM (Advanced Encryption Standard – Galois/Counter Mode) is widely used in critical applications:

Secure communication for defense systems
High-speed financial transactions
Real-time industrial control and IoT security

By validating your AES256-GCM implementation with NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) test vectors, you ensure your system meets the highest standards for encryption and authentication.

🛠️ What’s in the Demo?

In this 2-minute walkthrough, we show how simple and effective it is to:

✅ Downloading NIST GCM Vectors
Visit the NIST CAVP website to access officially published GCM test vectors in .rsp format.

✅ Setting Up DG’s Demo on FPGA
Download our evaluation demo from the AES256GCM Product Page, available for several supported FPGA boards.

✅ Running the Validation
Our demo reads the test vectors including key, IV, plaintext, AAD, ciphertext, and authentication tag. The result? A perfect match.

This process ensures 100% compatibility and correctness for 256-bit key size and 96-bit IV with globally accepted cryptographic standards.
