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. Instructions for SHA-512 will be introduced in Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake in 2024.

The original SSE-based extensions added four instructions supporting SHA-1 and three for SHA-256. AVX-based versions are also available with a V prefix.

SHA-1: SHA1RNDS4, SHA1NEXTE, SHA1MSG1, SHA1MSG2
SHA-256: SHA256RNDS2, SHA256MSG1, SHA256MSG2

The AVX-based extensions added three for SHA-512.

VSHA512RNDS2, VSHA512MSG1, VSHA512MSG2
