flag setting is stored in the most significant
byte of the nonce. The flag byte used for
encryption and authentication is then
generated as shown in Figure 24.

plaintext is stored in stand-alone buffer
located at RAM location 0x120, as can be
seen from Table 6 on page 27.
A stand-alone encryption operation is
initiated by using the SAES command
strobe.
(SECCTRL0.SEC_SAKEYSEL) is then used
to encrypt the plaintext written to the
stand-alone buffer. Upon completion of the
encryption operation, the ciphertext is
written back to the stand-alone buffer,
thereby overwriting the plaintext.
