In recent years, security has been a common concern for the data in‐transit between communication networks as well as data at rest in storage devices. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers P1619 Security in Storage Working Group proposed a standard for the security of static data. One of the components of this standard is the cryptographic protection of data on block storage devices. This standard uses Advanced Encryption Standard‐XEX weakable block cipher with ciphertext stealing as a building block for the protection of data. Few field programmable gate array‐based implementations of this mode that achieve sustainable throughput for block storage devices exist. This work proposes and demonstrates a different scheme that achieves better efficiency compared with current implementations. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
