crypto-bench

benchmark the various js crypto libraries

results

results are discussed here: markdown format and typeset for maximum credibitily

libraries

• sjcl
• crypto-js
• forge
• sha.js (part of crypto-browserify)

node.js is disabled, because it's so much faster (20x) that is obscures the results of the js libraries.

benchmarks

hash

Hash random data from 20 bytes - 10 MB. This tests the libraries ability to hash lots of data.

#                  library                       algorithm
node bench-hash.js [node|crypto-js|forge|sha.js] [sha1|sha256]

pkbdf2

pkbdf2 a password, with variable iterations. This tests how fast it is to create hash objects, as thousand of hashes are created, but they each hash a small amount of data.

#                    library                       algorithm
node bench-pkbdf2.js [node|crypto-js|forge|sha.js] [sha1|sha256]
