Phoronix: AVX2 & AVX-512 Optimized Versions Of ARIA Cipher Coming With Linux 6.3

The ARIA block cipher devised by South Korean researchers is being sped up by AVX2 and AVX-512 for its Linux kernel implementation...

Typo: "from 7,295 cycles down to 5,5540 cycles for encrypting 4096 bytes"

That has one too many digits.

So, about 1.75 cycles/byte with AVX2 and between 1.25 to 1.5 cycles/byte with AVX-512. How does this compare with other ciphers in the kernel?

Where is this even used?

Where is this even used?

If I had to guess, in Korea.
