3.1. Creating the AES Root Key
You may optionally specify the base key used to derive the AES root key and key derivation key, the value for the AES root key directly, the number of intermediate keys, and the maximum use per intermediate key.
You must specify the device family, output .qek file location, and passphrase when prompted.
Run the following command to generate the AES root key using random data for the base key and default values for number of intermediate keys and maximum key use.
quartus_encrypt --family=stratix10 --operation=MAKE_AES_KEY aes_root.qek
To use the reference implementation, you substitute a call to the Python interpreter included with Intel® Quartus® Prime software and omit the --family=stratix10 option; all other options are equivalent. For example, the quartus_encrypt command can be converted into the equivalent call to the reference implementation as follows:
pgm_py stratix10_encrypt.py --operation=MAKE_AES_KEY aes_root.qek
