Description

#182

Our VTL1 kernel is currently using the RustCrypto project. Instead of this, we could consider using verified libraries like [libcrux](https://github.com/cryspen/libcrux) or [Cryspen HACL](https://github.com/cryspen/hacl-packages).

Also, to improve the crypto performance, we should consider enabling advanced CPU instructions while saving/restoring corresponding vector registers (SSE, AVX, ...) using XSAVE/XRSTOR instructions.
