SYNOPSIS
openssl speed
[
DESCRIPTION
This command is used to test the performance of cryptographic algorithms.
Options
-help -
Print out a usage message.
-config filename-
Specifies the configuration file to use. Optional; for a description of the default value, see COMMAND SUMMARY in openssl.
-elapsed -
When calculating operations- or bytes-per-second, use wall-clock time instead of CPU user time as divisor. It can be useful when testing speed of hardware engines.
-evp algo-
Use the specified cipher or message digest algorithm via the EVP interface. If algo is an AEAD cipher, then you can pass
-aead to benchmark a TLS-like sequence. And if algo is a multi-buffer capable cipher, e.g. aes-128-cbc-hmac-sha1, then-mb will time multi-buffer operation.To see the algorithms supported with this option, use openssl list -digest-algorithms or openssl list -cipher algorithms.
-multi num-
Run multiple operations in parallel.
-async_jobs num-
Enable async mode and start specified number of jobs.
-misalign num-
Misalign the buffers by the specified number of bytes.
-hmac digest-
Time the HMAC algorithm using the specified message digest.
-cmac cipher-
Time the CMAC algorithm using the specified cipher e.g. openssl speed -cmac aes128.
-decrypt -
Time the decryption instead of encryption. Affects only the EVP testing.
-mb -
Enable multi-block mode on EVP-named cipher.
-aead -
Benchmark EVP-named AEAD cipher in TLS-like sequence.
-kem-algorithms -
Benchmark KEM algorithms: key generation, encapsulation, decapsulation.
-signature-algorithms -
Benchmark signature algorithms: key generation, encapsulation, decapsulation.
-primes num-
Generate a num-prime RSA key and use it to run the benchmarks. This option is only effective if RSA algorithm is specified to test.
-seconds num-
Run benchmarks for num seconds.
-bytes num-
Run benchmarks on num-byte buffers. Affects ciphers, digests and the CSPRNG. The limit on the size of the buffer is INT_MAX - 64, which for a 32-bit machine would be 2147483583 bytes.
-mr -
Produce the summary in a mechanical, machine-readable format.
-mlock -
Lock memory into RAM for more deterministic measurements.
-rand files-writerand file-
See Random State Options in openssl for details.
-engine id-
See Engine Options in openssl for details. This option is deprecated.
-provider name-provider-path path-propquery propq-
See Provider Options in openssl for details.
algorithm... -
If any algorithm is given, then those algorithms are tested, otherwise a pre-compiled grand selection is tested.
If any options are given, speed tests those algorithms, otherwise all of the above are tested.
