Once Time Analysis of all algorithms has been performed now we can know how DiceLock affects such symmetric cipher performances. Due to the great number of different combinations, online performance calculators have been developed to calculate the performance impact.

DiceLock main architectures

DiceLock presents two main architectures:

- DiceLock Indexed, and

- DiceLock Digested.

As they present quite differences, the calculators are differentiated by such concepts:

- DiceLock Indexed performance calculators, and

- DiceLock Digested performance calculators.

Relevant Time Analysis

The calculators are based on performance analysis per each one of the algorithms been used that can be found at the Time Analysis section:

- AES 128 block cipher with CBC operation mode,

- AES 128 block cipher with CFB operation mode,

- AES 128 block cipher with OFB operation mode,
