Synopsis

The speed command can be used to measure the performance of OpenSSL’s crypto library. It performs benchmark tests on the ciphers supported by OpenSSL and reports on their speed.

Notes

The arguments for this command are the algorithms that will be tested. If no arguments are specified, all algorithms are tested. Valid algorithms are md2, mdc2, md5, hmac, sha1, rmd160, idea-cbc, rc2-cbc, rc5-cbc, bf-cbc, des-cbc, des-ede3, rc4, rsa512, rsa1024, rsa2048, rsa4096, dsa512, dsa1024, dsa2048, idea, rc2, des, rsa, and blowfish.
