Crypto hardware performance

2007-12-03 Thread Patrick O'Keefe
Is there any doc comparing performance of crypto functions using the encryption hardware vs the same functions using software? I've seen a paper showing the performance of both CPACF and CEX2 based on block sizes (very big differences) but not compared to with software-only. I've also seen a z/L
