Rustls Outperforms OpenSSL and BoringSSL
www.memorysafety.org
ISRG has been investing heavily in the Rustls TLS library over the past few years. Our goal is to create a library that is both memory safe and a leader in performance. Back in January of this year we published a post about the start of our performance journey. We've come a long way since then and we're excited to share an update on Rustls performance today. What is Rustls? Rustls is a memory safe TLS implementation with a focus on performance.

    Some of the notes highlight that performance differences in specific tests were due to AVX-512 support. I’d like to see a post going into detail about what challenges the libraries (or their dependencies) went through to get that integrated and how much of an increase came from it.

    This article is so weird. “We outperformed our competitors because Intel improved the performance of the AWS owned cryptography library we use.”

    So like…what did you guys do? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that you did nothing, but your career would go better if you put it in the article that is specifically for bragging about your accomplishment.
