When I find my code in tons of trouble, Friends and colleagues come to me, Speaking words of wisdom: "Write in C."
This package provides a pure-JavaScript implementation of the Deoxys-II-256-128 v1.43 algorithm from the final CAESAR portfolio.
(ct32
) Bitsliced implementation.
(vartime
) Variable time implementation with a table driven
AES round function.
It is unclear what the various JavaScript implementations will do to the
ct32
code or the underlying bitsliced AES round function, and it is
quite possible that it may be vulnerable to side channels.
Performance for both implementation are utterly abysimal, however vartime
is approximately twice the speed of ct32
.
Users that require a more performant implementation are suggested to investigate WebAssembly, or (even better) calling native code.
