The modes +of operations available are ECB (Electronic code book), CBC (Cipher block +chaining), CTR (Counter), XTS (XEX with ciphertext stealing), GCM (Galois +Counter Mode). The AES implementation uses AES-NI when available (on x86 +and x86-64 architecture), but fallback gracefully to a software C +implementation. The software implementation uses S-Boxes, which might +suffer for cache timing issues. However do notes that most other known +software implementations, including very popular one (openssl, gnutls) +also uses same implementation. If it matters for your case, you should +make sure you have AES-NI available, or you'll need to use a different +implementation. + +WWW: http://github.com/vincenthz/hs-cipher-aes |
