Depends on the key size, but it's faster than that on the right hardware now. Certainly it's an area where "not all CPU's are created equal".
run "openssl speed rsa" on the target hardware and look at the signs/second. Peter "Adayadil Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/02/2007 01:46 AM Please respond to openssl-dev To [email protected] cc Subject RSA_private_decrypt speed ? Greetings. I saw a post long time back that mentioned : "According to Rescorla's book, the big CPU hit is in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange when it calls RSA_private_decrypt(). This takes 30 of the 32 milliseconds needed to process the connection on a 300 MHz Pentium (II). <SNIP> " That was in the year 2000. Does anyone know what's the time taken on latest CPUs ? ( on a 3GHz box will it be 3 ms ?)
