We are excited to share the latest benchmark results of wolfSSL v5.7.0 running on the HiFive Unleashed at 1.4GHz. We implemented AES for ECB, CBC, CTR, GCM, and CCM using assembly for RISC-V. This benchmark demonstrates the performance capabilities of wolfSSL on RISC-V architecture, highlighting our commitment to providing high-performance, lightweight, and secure SSL/TLS solutions across diverse platforms.
The benchmark results prove that the new assembly optimizations are much faster.
