Operand encoding

Each mode is a value of the Op/En column above. It says which field of the encoded instruction carries each operand, in the order they are written, and whether the instruction reads it, writes it or both.

A

  2. modrm.rm lecturaModRM byte, r/m field (bits 2-0); with the SIB byte and the displacement when the mod field asks for them

Description

This instruction performs a single round of an AES encryption flow using one/two/four (depending on vector length) 128-bit data (state) from the first source operand with one/two/four (depending on vector length) round key(s) from the second source operand, and stores the result in the destination operand.

Use the AESENC instruction for all but the last encryption rounds. For the last encryption round, use the AESENC- CLAST instruction.

VEX and EVEX encoded versions of the instruction allow 3-operand (non-destructive) operation. The legacy encoded versions of the instruction require that the first source operand and the destination operand are the same and must be an XMM register.

The EVEX encoded form of this instruction does not support memory fault suppression.

Operation

AESENC
STATE := SRC1;
RoundKey := SRC2;
STATE := ShiftRows( STATE );
STATE := SubBytes( STATE );
STATE := MixColumns( STATE );
DEST[127:0] := STATE XOR RoundKey;
DEST[MAXVL-1:128] (Unmodified)

VAESENC (128b and 256b VEX Encoded Versions)
(KL,VL) = (1,128), (2,256)
FOR I := 0 to KL-1:

    STATE := SRC1.xmm[i]
    RoundKey := SRC2.xmm[i]
    STATE := ShiftRows( STATE )
    STATE := SubBytes( STATE )
    STATE := MixColumns( STATE )
    DEST.xmm[i] := STATE XOR RoundKey
DEST[MAXVL-1:VL] := 0

VAESENC (EVEX Encoded Version)
(KL,VL) = (1,128), (2,256), (4,512)
FOR i := 0 to KL-1:

    STATE := SRC1.xmm[i] // xmm[i] is the i'th xmm word in the SIMD register
    RoundKey := SRC2.xmm[i]
    STATE := ShiftRows( STATE )
    STATE := SubBytes( STATE )
    STATE := MixColumns( STATE )
    DEST.xmm[i] := STATE XOR RoundKey
DEST[MAXVL-1:VL] := 0
