Okay, I am looking at XSHA512. The process is two SHA512_Update with salt
and password then SHA512_Final. I see Lukas' cryptsha512.cu already
implements ctx_update for SHA512_Update and sha512_digest for SHA512_Final.
So I can refer to these code on my XSHA512-cuda implementations, is it OK?
Also, I see in bench.c file, the function benchmark_format takes one salt
and then executes crypt_all. This will make multiple candidate
passwords transferring
to GPU. My first step will implement XSHA512 and tested without modify
bench.c. Next I will make many salts with one bunch of candidate passwords
computing on GPU by modifying the bench.c for testing. I think this makes
sense.
Thanks!
