New submission from Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org>:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cryptokit/ in macOS 10.15+ This is a common place for platform specific hardware acceleration to be exposed to the user (especially on SoCs which often have non-standard hardware - Like Apples... which is presumably why they create this). What they offer is limited, but when present and running on a recent enough macOS, using their and SHA2 and HMAC(SHA2) implementations as well as Insecure.SHA1 is probably better than OpenSSL's. **Verify this.** It'd also allow those to be fast in a non-openssl build (as if anyone does those). I know little about mac building and packaging and how to have something target an older OS and use a 10.15+ API. So if this winds up only being used from aarch64 macOS builds (10.15+ by definition IIRC?) that could also work. I leave this issue for a macOS Apple API friendly person to take on. This issue is cousin to the Linux one: https://bugs.python.org/issue47102 ---------- components: Extension Modules, macOS messages: 416032 nosy: gregory.p.smith, ned.deily, ronaldoussoren priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: explore hashlib use of the Apple CryptoKit macOS type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue47124> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
