openpgp smartcard: ssh auth speed vs. RSA key size

2018-03-01 Thread Thomas Jarosch
Hello together, here's an interesting observation on ssh auth speed when using different key sizes on the openpgp smartcard: RSA 2048 bit key: 0.7s RSA 4096 bit key: 3.1s Card used is an openpgp smartcard V3.3 with gnupg 2.2.4. The ssh key is accessed via gpg-agent. We found this while
