This write-up is about the STM32 cryptographic firmware library X-CUBE-CRYPTOLIB, also known as the Cortex-M Optimized Crypto Stack (CMOX). It is a cryptographic library developed by STMicroelectronics (ST) for their series of STM32 processors, which are based on the ARM Cortex-M family.
Hardware features vary across different STM32 processors. Because CRC checksums are widely used in embedded systems, most (if not all) STM32 processors feature a hardware CRC unit that is supposed to accelerate CRC computations.
Interestingly, on the page "Getting started with the Cryptographic Library", ST claims:
