Summary:A method for data decryption comprises receiving, over an AXI bus operating in burst mode, data access requests for data units stored in a memory, subdividing the requests received into requests for encrypted data units and requests for non-encrypted data units, forwarding both requests for encrypted data units and requests for non-encrypted data units towards the memory, retrieving the respective sets of data units over the AXI bus, and applying Advanced Encryption Standard, AES, processing to the requests for encrypted data units by calculating decryption masks for the encrypted data units and applying the decryption masks calculated to the encrypted data units retrieved. Subdividing the requests into requests for encrypted data units and requests for non-encrypted data units is performed depending on data start addresses and security information conveyed by the requests.
