Hi!
I encrypt files via openssl on commandline using the following command:
openssl smime -encrypt -in /tmp/testfile -out /tmp/testfile.enc -
nodetach -binary -aes256 -outform DER -engine padlock /tmp/public.pem
Since I use the engine "padlock" on a VIA CPU (openssl speed show an
enormous speedup on aes256 algorithm: about 630MB/sec!) I expected
that the encryption of big files would also be very fast. But as far
as I can see, the openssl command line tool process grows in memory
consumption up to about 1.5 times the size of the file. I have "only"
1GB of RAM installed, so is there a way to "stream" big files (about
some GB of data) to be encrypted through openssl in order to keep
memory consumption low? Also using the padlock engine is very
important for me. (don't hesitate to give me links to beta code which
needs testing: I will spend time on it if needed).
Thanks,
Harald
