I haven't been able to find a recent benchmark, despite the following assertion: "GnuTLS has been benchmarked against OpenSSL and GnuTLS is significantly faster" http://www.inspircd.org/wiki/Modules/ssl_gnutls#OpenSSL_vs._GnuTLS On the opposite, ftp transfer performance has been reported to perform like openssl:gnutls = 7:1, back in 2005 http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01487.html A comparison of features is in http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/comparison.html > I have used the SSL ports 465, 993 and 995 for years but > I still have no idea what, where and how TLS fits into the > picture. TLS is the alive encryption standard that SSL was. TLS proposes new features, such as the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension, that enables "virtual" secure servers http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4366#section-3.1 (See it at work on a web server at https://sni.velox.ch/ and following links) Any forecast on when will SNI show up on mail servers?
