Software supporting AES instruction set

Would anyone object to limiting software to software libraries? It seems like the list will grow until it is unmanageable if the only restriction is software. If the restriction is software libraries, the growth will be checked, and it will provide useful information for programmers who need a list of supporting libraries.

Windows' Bitlocker should also be added to the list. 72.80.29.25 (talk) 14:55, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any evidence that [Oracle] Java 7 HotSpot supports AES. Java 8 appears to, based on the appearance of new "intrinsics" and my own performance testing. twimoki (talk) 03:21, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Security

There is no discussion about security implications. In the non-hw assisted case the CPU has a hard time figuring out what is your key. In this case, you're essentially giving a black box your key, AND telling it the semantics too "this here is my key".

How can you be sure there isn't (for example) a built-in SRAM cache which stores the most-recently used 500 keys?

Comparison with a Pentium 4

I think this comparison is...questionable. Especially considering, that a Pentium 4 is well known to have the worst IPC of its generation, and was out of date by three generations by the time AES-NI became available, including one major and one minor architectural change. So looking at the cycles per byte of the worst offender of long pipelines, with the Netburst architecture, and the cycles per byte using optimized, dedicated logic is very strange. A comparison with a pure software implementation on the same platform would be interesting, or maybe with a previous platform, but a comparison with a P4 appears rather useless. 193.49.124.107 (talk) 08:27, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Evaluation of the Carryless multiplication

The carryless multiplication instruction is also discussed here: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=4358294&tag=1 and here: http://vega.dii.unisi.it/~giorgi/papers/Branovic03a.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robgiorgi (talk • contribs) 10:53, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting the "Supporting software" section

I think this is a good idea. Most mature crypto programs with performance-relevance support AES-NI these days. The existing list is needlessly huge and includes some little-used stuff. It seems like a good place for a vendor of a lesser-used product to slip in a free advertisement.

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on AES instruction set. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20101126155830/http://blogs.amd.com:80/work/2010/11/22/following-instructions/ to http://blogs.amd.com/work/2010/11/22/following-instructions/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
