Known Issues and Limitations
-
This release of Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library has been built with the new secure and powerful Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler. As a result, we’ve noted some performance regressions in our testing, which will be addressed in the subsequent releases. If these regressions are thought to be impacting your application in a negative way or you have specific questions, please contact Intel® oneAPI Products Support.
-
For this release, constant-execution time property is not guaranteed for RSA multi-buffer algorithm executed on Intel AVX2 based CPUs.
Unsupported or Discontinued Features
-
The threading functions (ippcpGetNumThreads, ippcpGetEnabledNumThreads, ippcpSetNumThreads and ippcpGetLibVersion) were deprecated.
-
The support for architecture n8 (Intel® SSSE3) and e9 (Intel® AVX) code path has been discontinued, Intel® SSE is instead.
-
Previously deprecated Hash functions and Elliptic Curves functions were removed. Please access to Intel Cryptography github.
