Bodo Moeller (from the OpenSSL core team, bodo AT openssl DOT org) had this to say when I asked him about this:
"The main (or maybe only) reason this is not enabled automatically is that the OpenSSL configure script is not clever enough to detect whether the compiler supports __uint128_t. If you can use this code, it is superior to the default in multiple regards (speed, and also security as the new implementations are secure against timing attacks)." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018522 Title: Enable optimized 64bit elliptic curve code contributed by Google To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1018522/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
