I'm pretty sure that at least a few of those are implemented in modern x86 / ARM CPUs? As an immediate example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_se

- erk__ 1y agoYeah there are some of those, but IBM has stuff like Ed25519 signatures, x86 at least seems to be a bit on the back foot when it comes to implementing things like that. They will probably rather wait until AES is popular before they add it.
