(First post) Any cryptographic libraries for MASM32 ?

[HumanSoundingName]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know if there was any kind of cryptographic libraries for MASM32 ?
I've used the Windows Cryptographic API but I was disappointed about the performance (AES-128, 1.1GB/s) and the number of available algorithms.

So I thought of using a secure stream cipher like Salsa20, Chacha20 or even a block cipher like AES, Blowfish or whatever but implemented in MASM32.
The thing is that I don't really want to implement those by myself (I'm far from being an expert in cryptanalysis or in x86 assembly optimization and I don't want to end being depressed because I tried to implement the Feistel Network in ASM).

Is there anything like that I could include in my code ?

Whatever is available for C/C++ or any other language that produces DLLs in a similar format is available also for Masm32. But it seems you haven't found anything for C/C++, right?

Why didn't I thought about it...
I could statically link some .lib file generated from a C library right (I don't want it to be dynamically linked) ?

Thanks for the idea :) (yes I kind of feel stupid but that's ok I guess).

When I started learning MASM, I had no idea what libraries were

Hi HumanSoundingName,

That's OK. An extra and necessary step is to write the correct Masm prototypes to declare the functions belonging to the static library.
