Hello, I'd like to ask about improving SHA-256 performance:
I see on this page, https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/sha-256-implementations-paper.pdf Intel gives a reference implementation of SHA-256 for its own processors. How is OpenSSL's implementation related to that implementation? Is there much opportunity for improvement? I assume the person who wrote the current OpenSSL assembly probably looked into every avenue for improvement of performance, but just in case, I feel I should ask. Can it get much faster? Thanks Paul
