NAME
speed - test library performance
SYNOPSIS
openssl speed [-engine id] [-elapsed] [-evp algo] [-decrypt] [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] [blowfish]
DESCRIPTION
This command is used to test the performance of cryptographic
algorithms.
OPTIONS
-engine id
specifying an engine (by its unique id string) will cause speed to
attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the
default for all available algorithms.
-elapsed
Measure time in real time instead of CPU time. It can be useful
when testing speed of hardware engines.
-evp algo
Use the specified cipher or message digest algorithm via the EVP
interface.
-decrypt
Time the decryption instead of encryption. Affects only the EVP
testing.
[zero or more test algorithms]
If any options are given, speed tests those algorithms, otherwise
all of the above are tested.
