Some comments in config.h were old. Time for a refresh.
Switch from CRYPTOPP_BOOL_ARM64 to CRYPTOPP_BOOL_ARMV8. Aarch32 is ARMv8, and that's the important part.
Also use CRYPTOPP_DISABLE_XXX_ASM consistently. The pattern is needed for Clang which still can't compile Intel assembly language. Also see http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24232.
Move m_aliasBlock into Rijndael::Base. m_aliasBlock is now an extra data member for Dec because the aliased table is only used for Enc when unaligned data access is in effect. However, the SecBlock is not allocated in the Dec class so there is no runtime penalty.
Moving m_aliasBlock into Base also allowed us to remove the Enc::Enc() constructor, which always appeared as a wart in my eyes. Now m_aliasBlock is sized in UncheckedSetKey, so there's no need for the ctor initialization.
Also see https://stackoverflow.com/q/46561818/608639 on Stack Overflow. The SO question had an unusual/unexpected interaction with CMake, so the removal of the Enc::Enc() ctor should help the problem.
This increases performance to about 1.6 cpb. We are about 0.5 cpb behind Botan, and about 1.0 cpb behind OpenSSL. However, it beats the snot out of C/C++, which runs at 20 to 30 cpb
The strategy of "cleanup under-aligned buffers" is not scaling well. Corner cases are still turing up. The library has some corner-case breaks, like old 32-bit Intels. And it still has not solved the AltiVec and Power8 alignment problems.
For now we are backing out the changes and investigating other strategies
This commit supports the upcoming AltiVec and Power8 processor. This commit affects a number of classes due to the ubiquitous use of AES. The commit provides the data alignment requirements.
- added AuthenticatedSymmetricCipher interface class and Filter wrappers
- added CCM, GCM (with SSE2 assembly), CMAC, and SEED
- improved AES speed on x86 and x64
- removed WORD64_AVAILABLE; compiler 64-bit int support is now required
