# Virtual-sorcerer/nckh-8bit-crypto-benchmark

> Firmware for Arduino Uno (ATmega328P) benchmarking AES-128, SPECK-128/128 and ASCON-128: measures execution time and flash size on an 8-bit microcontroller.

- Magnitude: 3.8 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 66 total · +0 stars today, ≈ 39 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Security · Language: C++ · Created: 2026-09-29 · Last push: 2026-09-30
- GitHub: https://github.com/Virtual-sorcerer/nckh-8bit-crypto-benchmark · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/Virtual-sorcerer/nckh-8bit-crypto-benchmark

## Useful for

- Compare AES, SPECK and ASCON speed on ATmega328P before picking a cipher for a project
- Verify implementation correctness against NIST LWC test vectors via the $VERIFY command
- Estimate Flash and RAM usage of each algorithm on Arduino Uno

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 39 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 3 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 66 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #158.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 0
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 21 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

## Stars per day, last 7 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-09-27 … 2026-10-03: 0, 0, 0, 1, 12, 53, 0

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
