Argon2

A multi-arch library implementing the Argon2 password hashing algorithm.

This project is based on the original source code by the Argon2 authors. The goal of this project is to provide efficient Argon2 implementations for various HW architectures (x86, SSE, ARM, PowerPC, ...).

For the x86_64 architecture, the library implements a simple CPU dispatch which automatically selects the best implementation based on CPU flags and quick benchmarks.

Using CMake

To prepare the build environment, run:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .

Then you can run make to build the library.

Architecture Support

Note: The CMake build system will autodetect the architecture options and intrinsics supported by your compiler. Auto selection of the fastest methods can be accomplished using:

argon2_select_impl(NULL, NULL);

Supported architectures:

• x86_64 – 64-bit x86 architecture
  • QMake config flags:
    • USE_SSE2 – use SSE2 instructions
    • USE_SSSE3 – use SSSE3 instructions
    • USE_XOP – use XOP instructions
    • USE_AVX2 – use AVX2 instructions
    • USE_AVX512F – use AVX-512F instructions
• generic – use generic C impementation
