Question: Is there a way to improve the performance?

[armory09]

Hi,

First of all, thank you for this great software.

I have a project running on NET48, i just notice when either encrypting or decrypting it takes about roughly 3 - 5 seconds. by the way im using AE_AES_256_CBC_HMAC_SHA_512 class.

Just wondering is there a way to improve the processing time?

Update: When trying to run the sample console application targeting netcoreapp3.1 its was much faster.

Thanks, Jonathan

Hi @armory09! You're welcome, glad to help you with this lib! Are you encrypting/decrypting strings or files? By the way, I have been wondering about increasing performance, I recently implemented a lookup table approach in hexadecimal conversions that is much faster than the previous one, I will also implement soon some directives to use Span<T> instead of byte[ ] when running on .NET Standard >= 2.1 | .NET Core >= 3.0. If you want to submit a PR I will be happy to analyse it.

When encrypting files, disabling the boolean flag "appendEncryptionDataToOutputFile" and store the required info for future decryption can improve the performance a bit.

Hi, Actually i was encrypting/decrypting a string.

Thanks
