AES tools

Simple AES implementation and utilities.

Building

Create the build files using CMake and build using your native build tools (Visual Studio/make/etc.).

• Prerequisites. Depends on Boost.{Filesystem,Program_options}.

• Customization. The runtime libraries are linked statically by default. Therefore, the Boost libraries must also link them statically. You can link the runtime dynamically by passing -D CC_STATIC_RUNTIME=OFF to cmake.

• Example. Using Visual Studio 2015 (targeting x86), build & install the release version to C:\aes-tools:

  > cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" -A Win32 ^
      -D BOOST_ROOT=C:\path\to\boost          ^
      C:\path\to\aes-tools
  ...
  
  > cmake --build . --config Release --target install -- /m
  ...
  

Usage on older CPUs

To run the executables that are using the AES-NI instruction set on a CPU without the support for these instructions, you can use Intel Software Development Emulator. After you install the emulator, you can run an executable like this:

> sde -- encrypt_block -a aes128 -m ecb -- 000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff
