The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This paper presents a study on performance comparison of several cryptographic primitives from six C/C++ open source libraries with the aim to understand the performance cost of the primitives and to find the most efficient primitive and library. The paper will also study the effect of the key length on the performance of variable key-length primitives. The results show that AES is the most efficient block cipher tested. The size of the key has some effect on the performance of the primitives. Smaller key sizes show better performance.
