Basic Features
Like other members of Intel® Performance Libraries, Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives Cryptography (Intel® IPP Cryptography) is a collection of high-performance code that performs cryptography-specific operations. It is distinguished by providing a low-level, stateless interface.
Based on experience in developing and using Intel Performance Libraries, Intel® IPP Cryptography has the following major distinctive features:
Intel® IPP Cryptography provides basic low-level functions for creating cryptography applications.
Intel® IPP Cryptography functions follow the same interface conventions, including uniform naming conventions and similar composition of prototypes for primitives that refer to different application domains.
Intel® IPP Cryptography functions use an abstraction level which is best suited to achieve superior performance figures by the application programs.
To speed up the performance, Intel® IPP Cryptography functions are optimized to use all benefits of Intel® architecture processors. Besides this, most of Intel® IPP Cryptography functions do not use complicated data structures, which helps reduce overall execution overhead.
Intel® IPP Cryptography is well-suited for cross-platform applications. For example, functions developed for the IA-32 architecture can be readily ported to the Intel® 64 architecture-based platform. In addition, each Intel® IPP Cryptography function has its reference code written in ANSI C, which clearly presents the algorithm used and provides for compatibility with different operating systems.
