Crypto Benchmark on XMC4500 MCU
ARM Cortex-M4 @ 120 MHz

This benchmark conducted on XMC4500 Relax Kit (KIT_XMC45_RELAX_V1) will help you in qualifying performance of CycloneCRYPTO (Cryptography library), CycloneSSL (TLS 1.3 & DTLS 1.2 library), CycloneSSH (SSH library with SCP & SFTP protocols), CycloneIPSEC (IPsec/IKEv2 library) and CycloneTCP (TCP/IPv4/IPv6 stack with secure protocols like HTTPS, FTPS, MQTTS, Secure WebSocket, Secure CoAP, Secure Modbus/TCP, SNMPv3...) running on Infineon XMC4500 microcontroller.
