What's New in Go Crypto

• binarycrusader 11y ago
  Perhaps I just missed it in the presentation, but after all of these changes, how does the newly-improved crypto code compare to OpenSSL? The earlier slides noted Go's crypto was much slower, but there was nothing obvious about "what's left to do".

  Yeah, I'd also be curious as to how this library could be improved. Also, I could be wrong, but isn't this only in Cloudflare's fork of the language?

    AES-GCM and RSA are already included in 1.5, so it's just the elliptical curve improvements that have the Intel licensing issue. According to the author, they are unlikely to land in 1.6, but he is hopeful for 1.7. https://github.com/cloudflare/go/issues/8 https://github.com/cloudflare/go/issues/8
