Should it be possible for ChaCha20-BLAKE2b as an AEAD to be faster than ChaCha20-Poly1305?
I expected it to be slower than ChaCha20-Poly1305 in all cases, but quick BenchmarkDotNet benchmarks suggest it's faster than ChaCha20-Poly1305 on my machine for 16-64 KiB buffers. The benchmark code is the same, I've tried changing the benchmark code,
sodium_init()should be getting called, and the results are similar for two different .NET libsodium bindings.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
