ROCCA-S for Rust

This is a Rust implementation of the ROCCA-S: an efficient AES-based encryption scheme for beyond 5G authenticated cipher, ported from the Zig implementation.

ROCCA-S is key committing, has a 256 bit key size, a 128 bit nonce, processes 256 bit message blocks and outputs a 256 bit authentication tag.

Cargo flags

  • std: allow dynamic allocations

std is the default.

IMPORTANT: In order to get decent code on x86 and x86_64 CPUs, you should set additional rustc flags prior to compiling that crate or a project using it:

export RUSTFLAGS="-Ctarget-feature=+aes,+sse4.1"

A benchmark can be run that way:

export RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native -Ctarget-feature=+aes,+pclmulqdq,+sse4.1"
cargo bench

Benchmarks

Benchmarks take a 16384 bytes input block. Results are in bytes per second.
