Fast Software Encryption: Designing Encryption Algorithms for Optimal Software Speed on the Intel Pentium Processor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most encryption algorithms are designed without regard to their performance on top-of-the-line microprocessors. This paper discusses general optimization principles algorithms designers should keep in mind when designing algorithms, and analyzes the performance of RC4, SEAL, RC5, Blowfish, and Khufu/Khafre on the Intel Pentium with respect to those principles. Finally, we suggest directions for algorithm design, and give example algorithms, that take performance into account.

Stream Cipher HC - 256 ?
HC-256 is a software-efficient stream cipher. It generates keystream from a 256-bit secret key and a 256-bit initialization vector. The encryption speed of the C implementation of HC-256 is about 1.9 bits per clock cycle (4.2 cycles/byte) on the Intel Pentium 4 processor.
متن کاملAES Finalists on PA-RISC and IA-64: Implementations & Performance
The Advanced Encryption Standard selection process has, for the first time, included software execution speed as a relevant criterion for the choice of the next standard. The initial submissions included keying, encryption, and decryption execution times, in clock cycles, for Intel Pentium, Pentium II, and Pentium Pro microprocessors. While Pentium execution speeds are important, by no means do...

This paper studies the state-of-the-art software optimization methodology for symmetric cryptographic primitives on the new 64-bit x64 processors, AMD Athlon64 (AMD64) and Intel Pentium 4 (EM64T). We fully utilize newly introduced 64-bit registers and instructions for extracting maximal performance of target primitives. Our program of AES with 128-bit key runs in 170 cycles/block on Athlon 64, ...
