CryptoBench.js

Benchmarks for javascript crypto libraries.

The subject of tests are client-side javascript libraries under various environments:

node.js;
browsers;
cordova applications: Android and iOS.

Benchmark tests performance of encryption and decryption of 1Mb random data.

The latest benchmark

Machine: 2.2 GHz IntelCore i7, 16GB of 1600 MHz DDR3

Libraries:

asmcrypto.js (2.3.2)
crypto-js (4.0.0)
forge (0.9.1)
libsodium.js (0.7.6)
js-nacl (1.3.2)
sjcl (1.0.8)
tweetnacl.js (1.0.3)
webcrypto-liner (1.2.0)

Where is possible WebCrypto API is tested as a reference. A fallback to webcrypto-liner/asmcrypto.js is used if a native implementation is not available.
