100x times faster MD5 and more

Update: Get more recent version of the library here.

Update: I updated the zip with LGPL MIT license file. The original author basically says “use wherever you want” which looks like mostly LGPL MIT, right? Yes, haXe was used to create the SWC but I don’t know if we can get the source or not. Anyway I hope you understand from the code below how to use the library.

My dear friend BlooDHounD has recently released an SWC with highly optimized MD5, Base64, CRC32, JPEG, PNG algorithms. Compared to as3corelib we get the following results:

by.blooddy.crypto.MD5.hashBytes: 40
com.adobe.crypto.MD5.hashBytes: 4483

by.blooddy.crypto.Base64.encode: 115
mx.utils.Base64Encoder: 1635

by.blooddy.crypto.Base64.decode: 141
mx.utils.Base64Decoder: 2762

by.blooddy.crypto.image.JPEGEncoder.encode: 447
com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder: 3496

by.blooddy.crypto.image.PNG24Encoder.encode: 538
com.adobe.images.PNGEncoder.encode: 1423

Here’s the benchmark source:

			t = getTimer();

I know that he is too shy to tell you guys about his results (8
But they are definitely worth sharing.

You can download the SWC here (look up at the update section).
