Description
Following the big PRNG change in #20852, there are some minor changes that we might want to implement, also based on the penetration testing results:
aes_cipher_core.sv
module. This doesn't change SCA properties but it simplifies control. This further allows taking the randomness for masking the initial state input from the buffers rather than from the PRNG directly (might be glitchy). This should have a beneficial impact on SCA hardening (to be evaluated on FPGA).This won't have a noticeable timing or area impact. I'm thus putting in M3.
