This repository hosts the benchmarking framework used to evaluate the software performance of the candidates of the NIST Lightweight Cryptography Standardization Project on microcontrollers.
src: benchmarking framework source code and the build scripts used to perform the experimentsimplementations: implementations of the Round 2 Candidates gathered from public sourcesbenchmarks: benchmark results
More information on implementations can be found here.
Currently, the benchmarking is being performed on the following development boards:
- Arduino Uno R3 (AVR ATmega328P)
- Arduino Nano Every (AVR ATmega4809)
- Arduino MKR Zero (ARM Cortex-M0+)
- Arduino Nano 33 BLE (ARM Cortex-M4F)
- Digilent uC32 (PIC32MX340F512H)
- Espressif ESP8266 (Tensilica L106)
The latest benchmarks results can be found here.
