Win32 and Win64 benefited from the Intel intrinsics. A32 and Aarch64 benefited from the ARM intrinsics. The intrinsics shaved 150 to 350 cycles from key setup.
The intrinsics slowed modern GCC down a small bit, and did not appear to affect old GCC. As such, Intel intrinsics were only enabled for Microsoft compilers.
We were not able to improve encryption and decryption. In fact, some of the attempted macro conversions and intrinsics attempts slowed things down considerably. For example, GCC 5.4 on x86_64 went from 120 MB/s to about 70 MB/s when we tried to improve code around the Key XOR Layer (ARIA_KXL).
This is the reference implementation, test data and test vectors from the ARIA.zip package on the KISA website. The website is located at http://seed.kisa.or.kr/iwt/ko/bbs/EgovReferenceList.do?bbsId=BBSMSTR_000000000002.
We have optimized routines that improve Key Setup and Bulk Encryption performance, but they are not being checked-in at the moment. The ARIA team is updating its implementation for contemporary hardware and we would like to use it as a starting point before we wander too far away from the KISA implementation.
