AES-256-XTS implementations usually take the key as a single 64-byte value; however, some require that users specify the two halves separately. Also, some implementations use incorrect naming, like calling the first half of the AES-256-XTS key the "key" and the second half the "salt". Looking at section 3.15.4 in the document you linked to, that looks to be the case here. You probably need to write the 64-byte AES-256-XTS key to EMCE_KEY0..7 and EMCE_SALT0..7. If the ciphertext still doesn't match, you'll need to check the other things that you could be going wrong, including: * Endianness and order of the key words. For example, if the hardware expects the key words in big endian byte order and/or the key words in reverse order, you'll need to take that into account when writing the registers so that the hardware understands the intended 64-byte AES-256-XTS key. * Mapping of DUN (data unit number) to IV. It should be little endian. For example DUN 1000 should result in the hardware using exactly the IV u8 iv[16] = {0xe8, 0x03, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}. * Data unit size. The hardware must use exactly data_unit_size bytes for the AES-256-XTS message size, and it must increment the DUN by exactly 1 after each data_unit_size bytes encrypted/decrypted. Note, fscrypt uses 4096 bytes for data_unit_size. - Eric
