Description ¶

The AESDEC256KL¹ instruction performs 14 rounds of AES to decrypt the first operand using the 256-bit key indicated by the handle from the second operand. It stores the result in the first operand if the operation succeeds (e.g., does not run into a handle violation failure).

Operation ¶

AESDEC256KL ¶

Handle := UnalignedLoad of 512 bit (SRC); // Load is not guaranteed to be atomic.
Illegal Handle = (HandleReservedBitSet (Handle) ||
                (Handle[0] AND (CPL > 0)) ||
                Handle [2] ||
                HandleKeyType (Handle) != HANDLE_KEY_TYPE_AES256);
IF (Illegal Handle)
    THEN RFLAGS.ZF := 1;
    ELSE
        (UnwrappedKey, Authentic) := UnwrapKeyAndAuthenticate512 (Handle[511:0], IWKey);
        IF (Authentic == 0)
            THEN RFLAGS.ZF := 1;
            ELSE
                    DEST := AES256Decrypt (DEST, UnwrappedKey) ;
                    RFLAGS.ZF := 0;
        FI;
FI;
RFLAGS.OF, SF, AF, PF, CF := 0;

Flags Affected ¶

ZF is set to 0 if the operation succeeded and set to 1 if the operation failed due to a handle violation. The other arithmetic flags (OF, SF, AF, PF, CF) are cleared to 0.

Intel C/C++ Compiler Intrinsic Equivalent ¶

#UD If the LOCK prefix is used.

If CPUID.07H:ECX.KL[bit 23] = 0.

If CR4.KL = 0.

If CPUID.19H:EBX.AESKLE[bit 0] = 0.

If CR0.EM = 1.

If CR4.OSFXSR = 0.

#NM If CR0.TS = 1.

#GP(0) If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.

If the DS, ES, FS, or GS register is used to access memory and it contains a NULL segment selector.

If the memory address is in a non-canonical form.

#SS(0) If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.

If a memory address referencing the SS segment is in a non-canonical form.
