145 \&\fBopenssl speed\fR
151 [\fB\-rand file...\fR]
152 [\fB\-writerand file\fR]
154 [\fB\-seconds num\fR]
158 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
159 This command is used to test the performance of cryptographic algorithms.
160 To see the list of supported algorithms, use the \fIlist \-\-digest\-commands\fR
161 or \fIlist \-\-cipher\-commands\fR command. The global \s-1CSPRNG\s0 is denoted by
162 the \fIrand\fR algorithm name.
167 Print out a usage message.
168 .IP "\fB\-engine id\fR" 4
169 .IX Item "-engine id"
170 Specifying an engine (by its unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBspeed\fR
171 to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
172 thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
173 for all available algorithms.
174 .IP "\fB\-elapsed\fR" 4
176 When calculating operations\- or bytes-per-second, use wall-clock time
177 instead of \s-1CPU\s0 user time as divisor. It can be useful when testing speed
179 .IP "\fB\-evp algo\fR" 4
181 Use the specified cipher or message digest algorithm via the \s-1EVP\s0 interface.
182 If \fBalgo\fR is an \s-1AEAD\s0 cipher, then you can pass <\-aead> to benchmark a
183 TLS-like sequence. And if \fBalgo\fR is a multi-buffer capable cipher, e.g.
184 aes\-128\-cbc\-hmac\-sha1, then \fB\-mb\fR will time multi-buffer operation.
185 .IP "\fB\-decrypt\fR" 4
187 Time the decryption instead of encryption. Affects only the \s-1EVP\s0 testing.
188 .IP "\fB\-rand file...\fR" 4
189 .IX Item "-rand file..."
190 A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
192 Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.
193 The separator is \fB;\fR for MS-Windows, \fB,\fR for OpenVMS, and \fB:\fR for
195 .IP "[\fB\-writerand file\fR]" 4
196 .IX Item "[-writerand file]"
197 Writes random data to the specified \fIfile\fR upon exit.
198 This can be used with a subsequent \fB\-rand\fR flag.
199 .IP "\fB\-primes num\fR" 4
200 .IX Item "-primes num"
201 Generate a \fBnum\fR\-prime \s-1RSA\s0 key and use it to run the benchmarks. This option
202 is only effective if \s-1RSA\s0 algorithm is specified to test.
203 .IP "\fB\-seconds num\fR" 4
204 .IX Item "-seconds num"
205 Run benchmarks for \fBnum\fR seconds.
206 .IP "\fB\-bytes num\fR" 4
207 .IX Item "-bytes num"
208 Run benchmarks on \fBnum\fR\-byte buffers. Affects ciphers, digests and the \s-1CSPRNG.\s0
209 .IP "\fB[zero or more test algorithms]\fR" 4
210 .IX Item "[zero or more test algorithms]"
211 If any options are given, \fBspeed\fR tests those algorithms, otherwise a
212 pre-compiled grand selection is tested.
