Can assembler use a crypto extension?
Could you elaborate on the capabilities of assemblers and their potential integration with cryptographic extensions? I'm curious to understand if assemblers, as low-level programming languages, have the flexibility to leverage specialized crypto hardware instructions or extensions. Would this allow for optimized cryptographic operations, such as encryption, decryption, or hashing, at a hardware-level? Are there any limitations or challenges in implementing such extensions within assembler code, and how might this affect the overall security and performance of a cryptographic system?
