Intel Cryptography Primitives Library 1.0.0

Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives Cryptography (Intel® IPP Cryptography) was renamed to Intel(R) Cryptography Primitives Library.

Functionality

• Added IPPCP SM3 hash algorithm optimization with the new instruction set (SM3-NI) for Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake CPUs.

• Added Intel® AVX-IFMA RSA implementation to Crypto Multi buffer library.

• Added FIPS selftest for Leighton-Micali Hash-Based Signatures(LMS) verification algorithm.

• Added examples for SM3 Hash / LMS post-quantum verification / NIST Curve P-256 ECDSA signature generation algorithms.

• Changed -DBABASSL:BOOL=on CMake build option to -DTONGSUO:BOOL=on for Tongsuo library.

Bug fixes

• Fixed bug in IceLake optimization (k1 branch) of ECDSA signature function caused by incorrect processing of R and S component's size and sign.

Disconnected Features

• Removed API that were deprecated in Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives Cryptography 2020 Update1. More details can be found in DEPRECATION_NOTES.md. Please note that ippsHash<GetSize/Init/Duplicate/Pack/Unpack/Update/GetTag/Final/HashMessage> API still remain in the library.
• Removed support for SSSE3(s8 for ia32 and n8 for intel64) and AVX(g9 for ia32 and e9 for intel64) code-paths. Execution was moved to SSE3(w7 for ia32 and m7 for intel64) and SSE4.2(p8 for ia32 and y8 for intel64) respectively. There is still the possibility to use 1cpu headers and 1cpu libraries without breaking change for 1 year but some performance drops are expected.
