From eaf44088ff467410dd15a033fef118888002ffe6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joachim Fritschi Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2006 21:12:02 +1000 Subject: [CRYPTO] twofish: x86-64 assembly version The patch passed the trycpt tests and automated filesystem tests. This rewrite resulted in some nice perfomance increase over my last patch. Short summary of the tcrypt benchmarks: Twofish Assembler vs. Twofish C (256bit 8kb block CBC) encrypt: -27% Cycles decrypt: -23% Cycles Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (128bit 8kb block CBC) encrypt: +18% Cycles decrypt: +15% Cycles Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (256bit 8kb block CBC) encrypt: -9% Cycles decrypt: -8% Cycles Full Output: http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~fritschi/twofish/tcrypt-speed-twofish-c-x86_64.txt http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~fritschi/twofish/tcrypt-speed-twofish-asm-x86_64.txt http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~fritschi/twofish/tcrypt-speed-aes-asm-x86_64.txt Here is another bonnie++ benchmark with encrypted filesystems. Most runs maxed out the hd. It should give some idea what the module can do for encrypted filesystem performance even though you can't see the full numbers. http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~fritschi/twofish/output_20060610_130806_x86_64.html Signed-off-by: Joachim Fritschi Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu --- crypto/Kconfig | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) (limited to 'crypto') diff --git a/crypto/Kconfig b/crypto/Kconfig index 306738ceecb..fa927a287a1 100644 --- a/crypto/Kconfig +++ b/crypto/Kconfig @@ -165,6 +165,21 @@ config CRYPTO_TWOFISH_586 See also: +config CRYPTO_TWOFISH_X86_64 + tristate "Twofish cipher algorithm (x86_64)" + depends on CRYPTO && ((X86 || UML_X86) && 64BIT) + select CRYPTO_TWOFISH_COMMON + help + Twofish cipher algorithm (x86_64). + + Twofish was submitted as an AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) + candidate cipher by researchers at CounterPane Systems.
