> Well, I assume that the standard will become available in future. There was AES Counter Mode Cipher Suites for TLS and DTLS draft in 2006, but it didn't make it to standard for 5 years. So I wouldn't count on it. There is GCM standardized, and TLS support for it is present in development [and 1.0.1] branch[es].

For research purposes it's not impossible to implement custom multi-threaded counter subroutine to be used with CRYPTO_gcm128_[en|de]crypt_ctr32. It's unlike that it would make it to main stream, because OpenSSL is thread-agnostic, while multi-threading an encryption mode is very thread-specific. Having results of experiment might trigger reconsideration, but there are more variables in play than sheer performance. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
