[openssl.org #3576] [PATCH] Speed up AES-256 key expansion by 1.9x

[David Leon Gil]

AES 128 is worth supporting.

Not for me; doing this strictly for fun.

Note: With this patch, expanding an AES-256 key is faster than
expanding an AES-128 key. So why not just use those saved cycles to
switch to AES-256?

Cf. djb's "matching AES security,"

Sure, I understand that.

We're unlikely to incorporate the patch without "finishing" it and doing AES 128. Nobody said it had to be you :)

It will take awhile anyway, and it won't show up in 1.0.2

Rich:

You might want to toggle off base64 encoding on your emails. Some mail
clients choke on it as do list aggregators (e.g.
http://marc.info/?l=openssl-dev&m=141387182603109&w=2).

I long ago trained myself to read base64 while building up an immunity
to iocaine powder but others might have trouble.

The problem is that openssl is running really old mailing list software. It is going to be upgraded soon. It's embarrassing.
