CBOS - Crypto Benchmark oder so

Project Description

CBOS is a benchmark utility created to measure the performance of various cryptographic algorithms. It provides an independent and easy-to-use tool that can be utilized on different platforms.

This tool was developed within the DevToSCA project. The official website can be found at https://www.devtosca.de. For more information, please visit the (german) website of the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) at https://www.forschung-it-sicherheit-kommunikationssysteme.de/projekte/devtosca.

How to Install and Use CBOS

1. Clone the repository using Git:

   git clone https://git.inf.h-brs.de/dev2sca/external-tools/cbos.git

   cd to the cbos directory then run make to compile the source code. Afterwards you can find the executables in the out directory.

Benchmarking your own Cryptographic library

1. Create a file for your crypto library in Libraries. This file will serve as a central location for your code that you want to benchmark. For example, if your library is called "myCryptolib," you can create a file named "MyCryptoLib".

2. If your cryptographic library is hosted in a separate repository, you can add it as a submodule to your benchmarking project. This step is optional.

3. To develop your custom benchmarking code you can start by creating your own benchmarking code for evaluating the performance of your cryptographic library.

Please refere to the example template in Template for guidance.
