I tested the generation of a certificate with a keypair RSA 4096 bit on two different platforms.
The openssl command I used is: /openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout clientKey.pem -out clientReq.pem/ There was a huge difference in the time it took on each one of the platforms. On a first Linux Station it took about 10 seconds. While in the second Linux embedded board it took almost 2 minutes! Is the strength or efficiency of the processors the only way to explain the difference of time? Is there a way to reduce the duration of the process? -- View this message in context: http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/Duration-of-rsa-key-generation-process-tp51673.html Sent from the OpenSSL - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
