This repository hosts the benchmarking framework used to evaluate the software performance of the candidates of the NIST Lightweight Cryptography Standardization Project on microcontrollers.

• src: benchmarking framework source code and the build scripts used to perform the experiments
• implementations: implementations of the Round 2 Candidates gathered from public sources
• benchmarks: benchmark results

More information on implementations can be found here.

Currently, the benchmarking is being performed on the following development boards:

• Arduino Uno R3 (AVR ATmega328P)
• Arduino Nano Every (AVR ATmega4809)
• Arduino MKR Zero (ARM Cortex-M0+)
• Arduino Nano 33 BLE (ARM Cortex-M4F)
• Digilent uC32 (PIC32MX340F512H)
• Espressif ESP8266 (Tensilica L106)

The latest benchmarks results can be found here.
