Intel SHA extensions

Intel SHA Extensions are a set of extensions to the x86 instruction set architecture which support hardware acceleration of Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) family. It was introduced in 2013.

There are seven new SSE-based instructions, four supporting SHA-1 and three for SHA-256:

  • SHA1RNDS4, SHA1NEXTE, SHA1MSG1, SHA1MSG2
  • SHA256RNDS2, SHA256MSG1, SHA256MSG2

x86 architecture processors

Several AMD processors support SHA instruction set:

  • AMD Zen (and later) processors.[3]
