Title:
Performance degradation caused by libica2 library
Status in libica package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
== Comment: #0 - Bastian Pfeifer <bastian.pfei...@de.ibm.com> - 2016-07-29

---Problem Description---
'Libica' library versions >= 2.6.0 implement a new DRBG (Deterministic Random
Number Generator) with a unnecessary stiff reseed limit leading to performance
degradation (factor >20) for RSA encryption via opencryptoki.
A patch is already upstream and can be found under this commit:
https://sourceforge.net/p/opencryptoki/libica/ci/3bcd3efb0aff364515ab9b3c39dd68fbbb1534d0/
It will fix the issue + we will get a great performance improvement
for the RSA encryption via opencryptoki's ICA-TOKEN.
