New submission from Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org>:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/seccng/creating-a-hash-with-cng See if these are worthwhile vs using OpenSSL for the hashlib algorithms it supports. OS APIs can in theory take better advantage of HW acceleration for performance. Verify this on supported architectures. Regardless it would allow some things to be fast if someone wanted to use a build without OpenSSL. I'm not a Windows or Microsoft user. I'm filing this for completeness, someone else would need to do the work. similar macOS issue: https://bugs.python.org/issue47124 similar Linux issue: https://bugs.python.org/issue47102 ---------- components: Extension Modules, Windows messages: 416033 nosy: gregory.p.smith, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Explore hashlib use of the Windows Crypto API NG type: performance _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue47125> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
