The encryption algorithm is AES 256 or is messaging solely AES?
And the hash integrity function is 512bit SHA and messaging is 256bit SHA?
I could run different algorithms against known keys and figure it out, but the white paper https://www.nem.io/NEM_techRef.pdf left me with more questions.
Are precompute tables implemented for speed? Is Intel aesenc and aesenclast supported or AMD Bulldozer?
Could anyone clarify this?

nem is java, so regarding intel instructions usage, it’s up to JVM
what hash integrity do you have in mind?

After reading the code linked from GitHub you answered my question. Mixed algorithms and choices, woah.
I’m not natively a Java developer so I did a google on the instruction set.
Side note, I was a Sun Microsystem engineer pre-Oracle and always dissed Java that it was a memory hog, but NEM has changed my opinion. It’s effing fast, I’ve got motivation to develop in Java finally.
Thank you!
Nis itself does not care about encryption, it’s a client thing.
There are two parts:
encoded message consists of salt, iv and encoded data
My question is purely academic from a cryptography aspect. Took the cryptography course from Stanford university and curious as to the algorithm.
