Starting with version `0.2.0` (`26.2-0.2.0`), `libmc` includes a built-in cryptography implementation. It uses the JDK's built-in cryptographic APIs on the JVM platform and a pure-Kotlin implementation on `kotlin-native` platforms. However, due to a lack of low-level optimizations, performance results in encoding and decoding tests are significantly slower than JDK's built-in implementations A simplified table below shows the benchmark results: | Algorithm | Data Size (Bytes) | libmc's Built-in (ops/s) | JDK's Built-in (ops/s) | Gap | |:-------------------------|:------------------|:-------------------------|:-----------------------|:-------------------------------------------| | **AES-128-CFB8 Encrypt** | 32 | 112,554.27 | 1,527,235.11 | **~13.6 times slower than JDK's built-in** | | | 1,024 | 2,976.95 | 49,842.94 | **~16.7 times slower than JDK's built-in** | | | 65,536 | 45.04 | 773.46 | **~17.2 times slower than JDK's built-in** | | **AES-128-CFB8 Decrypt** | 32 | 115,031.69 | 1,515,218.15 | **~13.2 times slower than JDK's built-in** | | | 1,024 | 2,925.74 | 49,868.55 | **~17.0 times slower than JDK's built-in** | | | 65,536 | 48.47 | 777.11 | **~16.0 times slower than JDK's built-in** | | **RSA-1024 Encrypt** | 16 | 163.87 | 91,600.51 | **~559 times slower than JDK's built-in** | | | 64 | 158.27 | 93,042.81 | **~587 times slower than JDK's built-in** | | | 117 | 160.95 | 94,826.94 | **~589 times slower than JDK's built-in** | | **SHA-1 Hashing** | 64 | 2,134,974.72 | 11,609,497.92 | **~5.4 times slower than JDK's built-in** | | | 1,024 | 259,804.80 | 1,856,575.14 | **~7.1 times slower than JDK's built-in** | | | 65,536 | 4,485.95 | 32,132.67 | **~7.2 times slower than JDK's built-in** | > **Benchmark Environment:** > - **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 5500U (6 Cores / 12 Threads @ 2.10GHz) > - **RAM:** 16GB DDR4 2667MHz > - **OS:** Windows 11 64-bit > - **Runtime:** Microsoft Build of OpenJDK 17.0.8, Kotlin 2.4.10 (MingwX64 & JVM) **Fortunately**, except for `AES-128-CFB8` (which requires continuous stream encryption/decryption during networking), the other operations (RSA & SHA-1) are only executed once during the initial server authentication phase If you have optimized native algorithm implementations (via `cinterop` or other approaches), PRs are welcome
