The reason for this is that the "des" and "aes" switches use the low level ciphers directly and these always use the builtin software versions. The EVP routines cipher calls can be redirected to ENGINE implementations. If you use the switch "-evp des-cbc" and "-evp aes-128-cbc" to "speed" instead you should get more meaningful results. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
