he two encryption algorithms in the AEGIS family, AEGIS-128L
and AEGIS-256
, are 2-3 times faster than AES-GCM, and 3-4 times faster than the CHACHA20-POLY1305 algorithms. They leverage hardware AES acceleration on x86_64
and aarch64
(64-bit ARM architecture) CPU architectures.
The AEGIS paper provides detailed information about the inner workings of the algorithms.
