mean nothing personal when I say cprng-aes has the right idea done the
wrong way. Why a new effort vs Vincent's package?
1. cprng-aes is painfully slow.
when using the haskell AES implementation yes. with AESNI it fly, and even more
when
i'll have time to chunk the generation to bigger blocks (says 128 AES block at a
time)
2. It doesn't use NI instructions (or any C implementation, currently).
The NI instructions support are coming. and there's ton of already existing C
implementation
that could just be added.
3. It isn't backtracking resistent. I plan to follow the SP and test
against the KATs.
I'm not sure i understand this. what's backtracking resistent ?
