FWIW, Poly1305 uses _a lot_ of multiplications. I expect it to perform poorly with SPARC V7 code. In fact, UMAC from the previous default of aes128-ctr + [email protected] already uses quite a lot of multiplications, although fewer than Poly1305, and I suspect it underperforms with SPARC V7. People who find scp throughput very slow on sparc may want to experiment with switching to aes128-ctr plus one of the hmac-*[email protected] MACs. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
