AES block cipher implementation using AES-NI instruction set.
This crate does not implement any software fallback and does not check CPUID, so if you are using this crate make sure you are running software on appropriate hardware or using AES-NI detection and appropriate software fallback.
Additionally this crate currently requires nigthly Rust compiler due to the
usage of unstable asm
and simd
features.
Usage example
let key = [0u8; 16];
let mut block = [0u8; 16];
let mut block8 = [0u8; 16*8];
// Initialize cipher
let cipher = aesni::Aes128::new(&key);
// Encrypt block in-place
cipher.encrypt(&mut block);
// And decrypt it back
cipher.decrypt(&mut block);
assert_eq!(block, [0u8; 16]);
// We can encrypt 8 blocks simultaneously using instruction-level parallelism
cipher.encrypt8(&mut block8);
cipher.decrypt8(&mut block8);
