AES-GCM Implementation & Analysis Papers

For some very good and very boring reasons I have been digging into AES-GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) implementation. I found a number of interesting papers analyzing GCM and describing a variety of interesting aspects of secure, fast implementation.

Analysis

• GCM, GHASH and Weak Keys, Saarinen, 2011
• Cache-collision Timing Attacks Against AES-GCM, Huang, 2010

Implementation

• Faster and Timing-Attack Resistant AES-GCM, Käsper & Schwabe, 2009
• Software Optimizations for Cryptographic Primitives on General Purpose x86_64 platforms, Gueron, 2012
• Optimized Galois-Counter-Mode Implementation on Intel® Architecture Processors, Gopal, et al, 2010
• Fast Cryptographic Computation on IA Processors Via Function Stitching, Gopal, et al, 2010
