Description Nirbheek Chauhan 2023-04-03 23:57:02 UTC
1. The latest libsrtp release is 2.5 (released 2 months ago), while fedora ships 2.3 (3 years old)
2. Crypto backend in use is NSS which is ~10x slower than the OpenSSL backend when encrypting RTP packets using this benchmark: https://gist.github.com/Sean-Der/7a42bd70edfe1324ccc6ab399d653c0e. On my machine, nss backend takes 12s, built-in crypto lib takes 4.5s, openssl takes 1.6s.
3. Using openssl also allows using hardware cryptography using /dev/crypto
4. Using openssl enables usage of AES-GCM and AES-NI 
5. You can also switch from autotools to meson (or cmake) with newer libsrtp
