Botan

Botan is a BSD-licensed cross-platform open-source C++ crypto library "cryptography toolkit" that supports most publicly known cryptographic algorithms. The project's stated goal is to be "the best option for cryptography in C++ by offering the tools necessary to implement a range of practical systems, such as TLS protocol, X.509 certificates, modern AEAD ciphers, PKCS#11 and TPM hardware support, password hashing, and post quantum crypto schemes."


Botan 2.17.3

Test: AES-256

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 1,305 public results since 27 March 2021 with the latest data as of 10 December 2024.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.
