    Abstract: Examples herein describe a scalable tweak engine and prefetching tweak values. Regarding the scalable tweak engine, it can be designed to accommodate different bus widths of data. The scalable tweak engine described herein includes multiple tweak calculators that can be daisy chained together to output multiple tweak values every clock cycle. These tweak values can be sent to multiple encryption cores so that multiple data blocks can be encrypted in parallel. Regarding prefetching tweak values, previous encryption engines incur a delay as the tweak value (e.g., a metadata value) for a data block is calculated. In the embodiments herein, the encryption engine can include an independent metadata engine that determines the metadata value for a subsequent data block while the current data block is being encrypted.
