status-sha-bench

Simple test and benchmark for various SHA1 and AES implementations

The goal is to compare and benchmark various implementations of the SHA1 hash algorithm and the AES cipher

Frameworks/APIs tested:

1. Qt 5.15 / QCryptoGraphicHash; plain C/C++

2. libtomcrypt; plain C (some ASM but disabled); as used currently in https://github.com/status-im/go-sqlcipher

3. OpenSSL; C/ASM/intrinsics

4. git-sha1; plain C; (as used in Linux kernel)

5. nayuki; highly optimized C and ASM

6. intrinsics - using Intel SHA/ARM Neon extensions; C/ASM, highly optimized

7. and finally, libtomcrypt_new which replaces the C-based sha1_compress subroutine with optimized versions from intrinsics (SHA/Neon) plus a fallback from nayuki

For AES:

1. libtomcrypt; plain C (some ASM but disabled); as used currently in https://github.com/status-im/go-sqlcipher
2. OpenSSL; C/ASM/intrinsics

Machine 1: Linux, AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS, 16 GB RAM
