DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" This command is used to test the performance of cryptographic algorithms.
OPTIONS
Header "OPTIONS" -help 4
Item "-help" Print out a usage message.
-elapsed 4
Item "-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" 4
Item "-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.
.Sp
To see the algorithms supported with this option, use
\f(CW\*(C`openssl list -digest-algorithms\*(C' or \*(C`openssl list -cipher-algorithms\*(C'
command.
"-multi num" 4
Item "-multi num" Run multiple operations in parallel.
"-async_jobs num" 4
Item "-async_jobs num" Enable async mode and start specified number of jobs.
"-misalign num" 4
Item "-misalign num" Misalign the buffers by the specified number of bytes.
"-hmac digest" 4
Item "-hmac digest" Time the HMAC algorithm using the specified message digest.
"-cmac cipher" 4
Item "-cmac cipher" Time the CMAC algorithm using the specified cipher e.g.
\f(CW\*(C`openssl speed -cmac aes128\*(C'.
-decrypt 4
Item "-decrypt" Time the decryption instead of encryption. Affects only the EVP testing.
-mb 4
Item "-mb" Enable multi-block mode on EVP-named cipher.
-aead 4
Item "-aead" Benchmark EVP-named AEAD cipher in TLS-like sequence.
"-primes num" 4
Item "-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" 4
Item "-seconds num" Run benchmarks for num seconds.
"-bytes num" 4
Item "-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 bytes, which for a 32-bit
int would be 2147483583 bytes.
-mr 4
Item "-mr" Produce the summary in a mechanical, machine-readable, format.
"-rand files, -writerand file" 4
Item "-rand files, -writerand file" See "Random State Options" in openssl\|(1) for details.
"-engine id" 4
Item "-engine id" See "Engine Options" in openssl\|(1).
This option is deprecated.
"-provider name" 4
Item "-provider name" 0
"-provider-path path" 4
Item "-provider-path path" "-propquery propq" 4
Item "-propquery propq" See "Provider Options" in openssl\|(1), provider\|(7), and property\|(7).
"algorithm ..." 4
Item "algorithm ..." If any algorithm is given, then those algorithms are tested, otherwise a
pre-compiled grand selection is tested.
BUGS
Header "BUGS" The algorithm can be selected only from a pre-compiled subset of things
that the \*(C`openssl speed\*(C' command knows about. To test any additional digest
or cipher algorithm supported by OpenSSL use the \*(C`-evp\*(C' option.
There is no way to test the speed of any additional public key algorithms supported by third party providers with the \*(C`openssl speed\*(C' command.
HISTORY
Header "HISTORY" The -engine option was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
