VASA: Vector AES Instructions for Security Applications
Jean‐Pierre Munch, Thomas H. Schneider, Hossein Yalame · Annual Computer Security Applications Conference · 2021
Due to standardization, AES is today’s most widely used block cipher. Its security is well-studied and hardware acceleration is available on a variety of platforms. Following the success of the Intel AES New Instructions (AES-NI), support for Vectorized AES (VAES) has been added in 2018 and already shown to be useful to accelerate many implementations of AES-based algorithms where the order of AES evaluations is fixed a priori.
