Without AES-NI, this remains faster than other options: |
Showcase that Zig can be a great option for high performance cryptography. The AEGIS family of authenticated encryption algorithms was selected for high-performance applications in the final portfolio of the CAESAR competition. They reuse the AES core function, but are substantially faster than the CCM, GCM and OCB modes while offering a high level of security. AEGIS algorithms are especially fast on CPUs with built-in AES support, and the 128L variant fully takes advantage of the pipeline in modern Intel CPUs. Performance of the Zig implementation is on par with libsodium.
