In case if I would want to download AES-256 encrypted file and would like to decrypt it with Genio. Does Genio 510 has hardware accelerator for AES-256 or maybe it relies on ARM CPU?
| The MSDC0 controller fully supports Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Is this one HW accelerator tied only for eMMC encryption ? | ||

Hi @Szymon_Ki ,
Although Genio 510 supports a hardware engine for AES, it does not directly provide interfaces for external use. Users who require this functionality typically go through official channels and internal review processes to ensure security and proper design.
Actual eMMC may vary depending on the manufacturer and device model. Most eMMC devices have a built-in AES encryption module. When enabled by the host, all data written to the eMMC is encrypted by hardware, and data is decrypted during read inside the eMMC device itself, without involving the host CPU or its software.
Thank you.
