CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM_BS: Bit sliced AES using NEON instructions

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM_BS has multiple definitions:

Bit sliced AES using NEON instructions found in arch/arm/crypto/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM_BS:

• prompt: Bit sliced AES using NEON instructions
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON
• defined in arch/arm/crypto/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 4.1–4.20, 5.0–5.3, 5.3+HEAD
• modules built: aes-arm-bs, aes-arm-bs

Help text

Use a faster and more secure NEON based implementation of AES in CBC, CTR and XTS modes

Bit sliced AES gives around 45% speedup on Cortex-A15 for CTR mode and for XTS mode encryption, CBC and XTS mode decryption speedup is around 25%. (CBC encryption speed is not affected by this driver.) This implementation does not rely on any lookup tables so it is believed to be invulnerable to cache timing attacks.
