I suggest looking at openssl. I'd hazard a guess that most nix OS's end up with it installed. The speed command does benchmarking :) Barton 2Ghz: $ openssl speed aes-256-cbc bf-cbc Doing aes-256 cbc for 3s on 16 size blocks: 6396149 aes-256 cbc's in 2.98s Doing aes-256 cbc for 3s on 64 size

throughput of GnuPG symmetric ciphers

2005-08-01 Thread Ryan Malayter
I was going to use GnuPG for encrypting some very large backup files on disk (~200 GB). However, the symmetric ciphers in GnuPG seem to be fairly slow. Using the Windows build of 1.4.2, I only modest throughputs piping GPG output from a fast 7200 RPM disk to NUL (the Windows equivalent of
