Log Message:
Update to 11.5.1
Upstream changes:
2021.06.23: Changes between NTL 11.5.0 and 11.5.1
Fixed bug that prevented compilation on IBM Z.
2021.06.20: Changes between NTL 11.4.4 and 11.5.0
Added a new configuration option NTL_RANDOM_AES256CTR. The default is off. \
Configure with NTL_RANDOM_AES256CTR=on to replace the default ChaCha20 \
Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) with 256-bit AES counter mode. On certain \
plaforms (modern x86 and IBM System/390x), special instructions are exploited to \
improve performance.
Using AES in place of ChaCha may break inter-operability of applications that \
depend on the behavior of the PRNG.
Using AES in place of ChaCha may affect the performance positively or \
negatively. On IBM System/390x, there is a marked performance improvement. On \
x86 there may be a moderate performance improvement or degredation. On any other \
platforms, where there is no hardware support for AES (or none that is exploited \
by NTL), there will likely be a marked performance degredation.
Thanks to Patrick Steuer for contributing this code.
