This class read a list of vector files and parse the useful information to uvm_sequences. The following is a list of common properties and methods:
- _file_list: A string list of file names grouped by tested functionality.
- test_vectors_t: A structure of parsed information.
- str_to_bytes: A method to parse string to a vector of bytes.
- get_test_vectors_path: A method to get file directory from the run option, and concatenate with input file name. Return the full file path.
- open_file: A method to open a file with specific path, and return a open file handle.
- parse_sha: A method to parse SHA vectors files. Return an array of test_vectors_t.
The test vector files inside of vectors/sha/sha256/ are downloaded from the
NIST website.
Test vector files for the 224, 256, 384, and 512 bit variants of SHA3 found at
vectors/sha/sha3-<224/256/384/512> are downloaded from the NIST
website.
Files inside of vectors/hmac/ contain test vectors extracted from IETF RFC 4868.
Test vector files for the SHA3 Extendable Output Functions in vectors/xof/shake are
downloaded from the NIST
website.
Test vectors for the Customizable SHAKE functions are taken from the NIST
website.
These vectors are found in vectors/xof/cshake/.
Test vectors for KMAC algorithm are taken from NIST website for both the
XOF
and
non-XOF
variants.
These vectors are found in vectors/xof/kmac/.
Test vectors for AES can be found under hw/ip/aes/dv/test_vectors Test vectors for AES algorithm are taken from the NIST website
