AEGIS for Rust

This is a Rust implementation of the AEGIS-128L authenticated cipher, ported from the Zig standard library.

AEGIS is extremely fast on CPUs with AES acceleration, has a large nonce size, and is key committing.

Cargo flags

std is the default.

pure-rust: don't use the cc crate to take advantage of the optimized implementation ported from libsodium. Setting this flag will substantially degrade performance. Only required if you need to support old x86_64 or ARM CPUs without AES acceleration.

A benchmark can be run that way:

export RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native"
cargo bench

For benchmarking, RUSTFLAGS is set so that the AES-GCM implementations can take advantage of hardware acceleration.

Benchmarks take a 16384 bytes input block. Results are in bytes per second.
