v1.0.0 Release Notes

Status: Verified release package; GitHub publication remains a maintainer action.

These notes are the source-controlled basis for the canonical v1.0.0 GitHub Release. The local release gate passed on 2026-06-06 from a Visual Studio 2022 Developer Command Prompt using the local NVIDIA/CUDA stack.

Release Tag

  • Tag: v1.0.0
  • Release title: CUDA-AES Benchmark v1.0.0
  • Release surface: GitHub Release for the v1.0.0 tag

Summary

CUDA-AES Benchmark v1.0.0 defines a reproducible benchmark-suite contract for CUDA AES workloads. It includes:

  • portable CMake configuration with CUDA architecture and host compiler guidance;
  • deterministic CTest known-answer coverage for implemented modes;
  • reproducible benchmark raw artifact schema and summary generation;
  • documentation for methodology, correctness, results, mode coverage, profiling, contribution, security, and maintenance;
  • AES-128 and AES-256 benchmark coverage for ECB, CBC, CFB-128, OFB, CTR, GCM, CCM, XTS-AES, AES-KW, and AES-KWP.

This release does not claim production cryptography library API stability or production security hardening.

Build And Test Status

The local release gate passed with this Windows CUDA/MSVC environment:

  • OS: Windows
  • Compiler: MSVC 1944
  • CUDA runtime version: 12090
  • NVIDIA driver version: 13010
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU
  • Compute capability: 8.6
  • Build directory: build-vs2022-release3

Verified commands:

cmd.exe /s /c 'call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" -arch=x64 && "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe" -S . -B build-vs2022-release3 -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=86 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=cl -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=C:/Strawberry/c -DOPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS=FALSE'
cmd.exe /s /c 'call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" -arch=x64 && "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe" --build build-vs2022-release3 --config Release'
cmd.exe /s /c 'call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" -arch=x64 && "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\ctest.exe" --test-dir build-vs2022-release3 --output-on-failure'

CTest result: 100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 1.

Smoke Benchmark Gate

The smoke benchmark ran locally with one 1 MiB run per implemented workload:

cmd.exe /s /c 'call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" -arch=x64 && build-vs2022-release3\CudaProject.exe --runs 1 --sizes 1048576 --bench-dir bench\v1-smoke-local'
python scripts\summarize_benchmarks.py bench\v1-smoke-local\thr_gpu.csv bench\v1-smoke-local\thr_cpu.csv -o bench\v1-smoke-local\summary.md

All benchmark round-trip checks and AES-KW/AES-KWP wrap checks passed. The generated summary contains 36 rows.

Raw Artifact Manifest

Use only this verified local artifact set for any v1.0.0 release asset upload:

  • bench/v1-smoke-local/run_metadata.csv
  • bench/v1-smoke-local/thr_gpu.csv
  • bench/v1-smoke-local/thr_cpu.csv
  • bench/v1-smoke-local/summary.md

Do not attach stale throughput files. Do not include benchmark numbers in release notes unless they come from the verified release-gate artifact set.

Known Limitations

  • Runtime verification in an ordinary Windows shell can be blocked when nvcc cannot find cl.exe; use a Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt or pass an explicit CUDA host compiler.
  • GPU timing rows are kernel_only and exclude allocation, transfers, validation, and summary generation.
  • CPU baseline rows are OpenSSL comparison rows, not a controlled CPU performance study.
  • GCM and CCM scope is limited to 96-bit IV/nonce, empty AAD, 16-byte tag where applicable, and full 16-byte blocks.
  • XTS-AES scope is full 16-byte blocks with a 16-byte sector tweak; ciphertext stealing is out of scope.
  • AES-KW and AES-KWP rows are key-wrap workloads, not bulk encryption throughput rows, and currently emit GPU rows only.
  • Partial-block behavior, non-empty AAD, GMAC/CMAC benchmarking, charts, matrix automation, GitHub Pages, DOI releases, paper-style reports, and production library/API packaging are future work.

Security, Maintenance, And Contributions

Publication Checklist

  • Runtime release gate records verification-passed.
  • CHANGELOG.md has a dated 1.0.0 section and a fresh Unreleased section.
  • Release notes include the exact verified commands.
  • Raw artifact manifest lists only current verified files.
  • GitHub Release draft uses the v1.0.0 tag.
  • Any release assets are produced by the verified release-gate run.
  • No ranking, fastest-in-world, or production-library claims are added.
