Crypto Benchmark on PIC32MX MCU
MIPS32 M4K Core @ 120 MHz

This benchmark conducted on Curiosity PIC32MX470 Development Board (DM320103) 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 Microchip PIC32MX microcontroller.
