I don't know what the OpenSSL people did to the x86 ASM code, but SSLeay (the precursor to OpenSSL, over 3 years old) did/does 330 512bit and 55 1024 bit RSAs a second on a 333mhz celeron (linux and/or win32). You should be seeing numbers like 600 and 100. The company I work for has 70 1024's per second on the celeron 333. It used to build this way (and with this performance) for most x86 boxes..... eric PS The SSLeay version I tested was '0.9.1a 06-Jul-1998', which is what is in \bin on my laptop. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
