Version 5.5 of Crypto++ has been released. You can download it from
http://www.cryptopp.com/. This version improved the speed of many
algorithms, and updated benchmarks for the Intel Core 2, AMD Opteron, and
Pentium 4 are available at http://www.cryptopp.com/benchmarks.html.
Below are the changes from version 5.4:
5.5 - added VMAC and Sosemanuk (with x86-64 and SSE2 assembly)
- improved speed of integer arithmetic, AES, SHA-512, Tiger, Salsa20,
Whirlpool, and PANAMA cipher using assembly (x86-64, MMX, SSE2)
- optimized Camellia and added defense against timing attacks
- updated benchmarks code to show cycles per byte and to time key/IV
setup
- started using OpenMP for increased multi-core speed
- enabled GCC optimization flags by default in GNUmakefile
- added blinding and computational error checking for RW signing
- changed RandomPool, X917RNG, GetNextIV, DSA/NR/ECDSA/ECNR to reduce
the risk of reusing random numbers and IVs after virtual machine state
rollback
- changed default FIPS mode RNG from AutoSeededX917RNG<DES_EDE3> to
AutoSeededX917RNG<AES>
- fixed PANAMA cipher interface to accept 256-bit key and 256-bit IV
- moved MD2, MD4, MD5, PanamaHash, ARC4, WAKE_CFB into the namespace
"Weak"
- removed HAVAL, MD5-MAC, XMAC
