VAMPIRE	eBACS: ECRYPT Benchmarking of Cryptographic Systems	ECRYPT II

Measurements of NISTLWC hash candidates on one machine: amd64; Coffee Lake (806ea); 2018 Intel Core i3-8109U; 2 x 3000MHz; like, supercop-20250922

[Page version: 20251015 23:19:40]

eBASH (ECRYPT Benchmarking of All Submitted Hashes) is a project to measure the performance of hash functions. This page presents an excerpt of the full eBASH benchmark results. The excerpt is for NISTLWC, specifically (starting with supercop-20221005) finalists.

Each table row lists the first quartile of many speed measurements, the median of many speed measurements, the third quartile of many speed measurements, and the name of the primitive. Measurements with large variance are indicated in red with question marks. The symbol T: (starting with supercop-20200816) means that the SUPERCOP database at the time of benchmarking did not list constant time as a goal for this implementation. The symbol T!!! means that constant time was listed as a goal for this implementation, but that the implementation failed TIMECOP. (TIMECOP failures are not necessarily security issues; they can sometimes be resolved by, e.g., declaring that a rejection-sampling condition is safe to declassify.)

There is a separate page with more information about each hash function (and each implementation).
