ab: Summary: NEON is a vector instruction set included in a large fraction of
    new ARM-based tablets and smartphones. This paper shows that NEON
    supports high-security cryptography at surprisingly high speeds;
    normally data arrives at lower speeds, giving the CPU time to handle
    tasks other than cryptography. In particular, this paper explains how
    to use a single 800MHz Cortex A8 core to compute the existing NaCl
    suite of high-security cryptographic primitives at the following
    speeds: 5.60 cycles per byte (1.14 Gbps) to encrypt using a shared
    secret key, 2.30 cycles per byte (2.78 Gbps) to authenticate using a
    shared secret key, 527102 cycles (1517/second) to compute a shared
    secret key for a new public key, 624846 cycles (1280/second) to verify
    a signature, and 244655 cycles (3269/second) to sign a message. These
    speeds make no use of secret branches and no use of secret memory
    addresses.
