Hi Everyone, We cut-in AES encryption for Power8 and its in-core crypto. Also see commit https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/commit/7fb34e9b0894.
AES decryption is still outstanding. Crypto++ uses "Equivalent Inverse Cipher" (FIPS-197, Section 5.3.5, p.23), and it is not compatible with IBM hardware. We need to rework the key schedule algorithm before we can move forward. The Crypto++ implementation only encrypts 1 block at a time at the moment. It results in dull performance of about 6 cpb. In comparison, OpenSSL is at about 0.7 cpb and Botan is at about 1 cpb. We will close the gap when we move to 4 or 8 blocks. However, 6 cpb is still better than 20 to 30 cpb for C/C++ code.
