            Botan library - fastest digital signature verification
            Asked 2022-Jan-08 at 12:32

            I am looking for the fastest algorithm, where I can verify a digital signature of a blob. The algorithm shouldn't necessarily be cryptographically secure, just make sure that it's not trivially fakable. Signing time neither counts in my case.

            Any suggestions? Also if possible, can you tell me what modules of botan do I need to use? (In order to only include them in my build!)

            I've just found out that botan library has a cli. If you target this via --build-targets="static,cli" you can measure speed of different algorithms on your machine. Of course it will be specific to your computer, but for me this information was enough.

            data.fruits.filter(item => item.id == id) creates an array with just one product, the one with the id given in the parameter. Accessing this array with [0] will get the one product in the array and .price will return its price

            The rows can be split into 5 different columns, for each 5 rows because they follow this systematic progression.

            This is likely caused by your Botan version not being build with support for the specified algorithm. The method CipherMode::create returns a nullptr if the specified algorithm is not found (reference). You would then have to check the result, e.g.:

            [X] I discovered this happen when TLS::credentials creds is declared on global scope but if I declare it outside seg fault won't happen.

            I need it to be global because it helps with caching certificates and that multiple threads can use certificates created by other threads without spending time on creating new certificates.

            [X] I further reduced code from 200 lines approx. to 100 lines

            I'm using Botan to create a TLS application and my application crash with a seg fault at end of the application.

            I made an attempt to debug this with Valgrind but it leading nowhere.

            Author of Botan replied to me that

            The problem is the globally defined object.

            The problem is that the mlock pool is a singleton created on first use then destroyed sometime after main returns. First your object is created. It allocates memory. This results in the pool being created. Destruction happens LIFO. So first the pool is destroyed. Then your object is destroyed, and attempts to touch memory (to zero it) which has already been unmapped.

            Workarounds,

            • Create a Botan::Allocator_Initializer object to force initialization before your object is created (thus the pool lives until after your object has been destructed)
            • Disable locking_allocator module
            • Set env var BOTAN_MLOCK_POOL_SIZE to 0
            • No global vars

            In principle the locking allocator instead of munmaping the memory, just zeros it, and leave it to be unmapped by the OS on process exit. This might still break invariants, but not as badly. It also causes valgrind to reports leaks which is obnoxious.

            I think because it was mmap'ed directly and not through malloc, valgrind doesn't track it.
