SHA Extensions and Delphi

[Kryvich 165]

Any modern CPU has SHA extensions - set of instructions that accelerate the Secure Hash Algorithms. Do you know any implementation of SHA in Delphi, which uses these extensions?

Would it be possible to wrap the assembly versions of these in Delphi?

I do not see SHA instructions in this assembler code. The author writes that he tested his implementations on Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor. This processor does not support SHA extensions.

As I've read yesterday, author of 7zip implemented these functions in recent version so you can take a look.

True security paranoids won't rely on closed source algorithm implementations though

Did quick google search to familiarize myself on the subject and ran into this:

Seems to be worth checking out.

@Tommi Prami Yes, this code uses SHA Extensions. I think it's possible to convert it to a Delphi asm procedure.
