This crate provides a minimal implementation of several algebraic cryptographic hash functions over a 64-bit prime field, aimed at providing benchmarking comparison of those instances with Anemoi.
For each of those contenders, two instantiations are being tested:
- one of width 12 and rate 8, at 128 bits of security, with regular sponge construction for compression
- one of width 8 and rate 4, at 128 bits of security, with Jive for compression
To run benchmarks, execute the following command in a terminal:
RUSTFLAGS=-Ctarget-cpu=native cargo bench
To run benchmarks for a single type of hash function, for instance Poseidon, run:
RUSTFLAGS=-Ctarget-cpu=native cargo bench --bench poseidon
Below are running times obtained on an Intel® Core™ i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz × 12 running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: (RP stands for Rescue-Prime)
| Running time | Anemoi 8-4 | Griffin 8-4 | Griffin 12-8 | RP 8-4 | RP 12-8 | Poseidon 8-4 | Poseidon 12-8 |
