intel Integrated Performance Primitives Cryptography

intel-Integrated-Performance-Primitives-Cryptography

Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) Cryptography is a software library that provides a broad range of secure and efficient cryptographic algorithm implementations.
The library is delivered as a part of Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit. You may install specific library version as well.
This get started guide assumes you have installed Intel IPP Cryptography library as a part of the toolkit.

Prerequisites (Windows* OS)

Set Environment Variables
After installing Intel IPP Cryptography, set the PATH, LIB, and INCLUDE environment variables by running the script appropriate to your target platform architecture. The scripts are available in \ippcp\bin. By default, the is C:\Program files (x86)\Intel\oneapi. See Intel IPP high-level directories structure.

Configure Your IDE Environment to Link with Intel IPP Cryptography
To configure your Microsoft Visual Studio development system for linking with the Intel IPP Cryptography library, follow the steps below. Though some versions of the Visual Studio* IDE may vary slightly in the menu items mentioned below, the fundamental configuring steps are applicable to all these versions.

In Solution Explorer, right-click your project and click Properties.
Select Configuration Properties > VC++ Directories and set the following from the Select directories for drop down menu:
- Include Files menu item, and then type in the directory for the Intel IPP Cryptography include files (default is \ippcp\include)
- Library Files menu item, and then type in the directory for the Intel IPP Cryptography library files (default is \ippcp\lib\)
- Executable Files menu item, and then type in the directory for the Intel IPP Cryptography executable files (default is \redist\\ippcp)

Build and Run Your First Intel® IPP Cryptography Application (Windows*

OS)

The code example below represents a short application to help you get started with Intel IPP Cryptography:
This application consists of two sections:
1. Get the library layer name and version.
2. Show the hardware optimizations used by the selected library layer and supported by CPU.
On Windows OS, Intel IPP Cryptography applications are significantly easier to build with Microsoft Visual Studio*. To build the code example above, follow the steps:
1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio and create an empty C++ project.
2. Add a new c file and paste the code into it.
3. Set the include directories and the linking model.
4. Compile and run the application.
