About:
libaegis provides portable, constant-time C implementations of the AEGIS family of authenticated encryption algorithms. It offers high-performance, hardware-accelerated encryption suitable for modern applications requiring strong security and speed. The library is designed to be easily integrated into various cryptographic projects and systems.
Key Features:
  • Portable C implementation
  • Hardware acceleration support (AES-NI, NEON)
  • Constant-time operations to prevent side-channel attacks
  • Support for AEGIS-128L and AEGIS-256
Use Cases:
  • Secure data transmission in network protocols
  • Authenticated encryption for storage systems
  • Integration into custom cryptographic libraries
Alternatives:
  • libsodium – Provides ChaCha20-Poly1305 but does not include AEGIS algorithms
  • OpenSSL – Larger codebase with broader algorithm support but AEGIS is not standard
