There was indeed something wrong with my benchmarks of ciphers and hashes (but not digital signatures). Something so bone-headedly wrong that I would prefer if you didn't look at this patch that fixes it: https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/pycryptopp/commit/e855f9b477bafe19bfe3a551f5f0e383bb224e2d Everything I wrote about digital signatures in the previous letter was correct. As for ciphers, the performance is more than 1000 times better than I thought. On 64-bit servers, the it costs something around 10 *nanoseconds* per byte, and on François's little low-power ARM box, it costs about 200 nanoseconds per byte.
