[Cryptech Tech] Happier RSA timing numbers

[Joachim Strömbergson]

Aloha!

Another thing we could consider is adding a streaming interface to the AES core. This would allow you to push words and the core would processing them as fast as possible as soon as there is a whole block. We could even combine this with a FIFO.

But right now I know to little about how your keywrap code use the AES core Rob. You need to say if this would would reduce the wait states.

Just throwing ideas out there.
