Iakov Polyak

Developed and contributed a vector-length agnostic Poly1305 implementation for AArch64 using SVE2 to the openssl/openssl repository, targeting improved cryptographic performance on ARM servers. The solution dynamically detects SVE2 support at runtime and selects the optimal execution path for vector lengths of 256, 512, 1024, or 2048 bits, ensuring efficient utilization of available hardware. Implemented in C and assembly, the work focused on low-level programming, cryptography, and performance optimization. Collaboration with OpenSSL maintainers ensured thorough code review and integration. This enhancement strengthened TLS throughput and optimized Poly1305 workloads across diverse ARM architectures, demonstrating depth in SVE2 vectorization.

September 2025: Key feature delivered for OpenSSL: a vector-length agnostic Poly1305 implementation for AArch64 using SVE2. The runtime detects SVE2 support and selects the most efficient path for vector lengths of 256, 512, 1024, or 2048 bits, delivering improved Poly1305 performance across varying hardware. The work was implemented as a single commit (2657697b6d29ea1d62161bdd96f4b06bb8e532b2) and merged from PR 28454 after reviews by Tom Cosgrove and Paul Dale. This enhancement strengthens TLS throughput and cryptographic workloads on ARM servers. Skills demonstrated include SVE2 vectorization, runtime feature detection, performance-oriented cryptography, and collaboration with OpenSSL maintainers.
