 QuickAssist Technology Cryptographic API comprises two broad feature 

areas in its API, they are the symmetric operations API and the public key cryptography 

API.

EP80579 security software supports the following Cipher algorithms:

• AES (128-bit/192-bit/256-bit key size) in ECB, CBC and CTR modes. Block size for 

data is 16 byte blocks.

• 3DES (192-bit key size) in ECB and CBC and CTR mode. Block size for data is 

8 bytes.

• DES (64-bit key size) in ECB and CBC mode. Block size for data is 8 bytes.
• ARC4 (stream cipher)
• NULL cipher with a minimum block size of 8 bytes

EP80579 security software supports the following Hash/Authentication algorithms:

• Secure Hash Algorithm SHA-1, SHA-224/256/384/512.
• Authentication algorithms for Secure Hash supported HMAC-SHA-1, HMAC-SHA-

224/256/384/512

• Message Digest 5 (MD5) and HMAC-MD5
• Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) using 96-bit key in AES-XCBC mode to 

produce AES-XCBC-MAC-96.

A partial packet is defined as a portion of a full packet. The caller issues a separate 

request for each portion (partial packet) of the full packet. The size of data sent must 

be a multiple of the underlying algorithm block size for cipher and hash requests except 

for the final hash partial packet in which padding will be applied if it is not a block size. 

The final result following completion of all the portions is equivalent to the case where
