NAME

openssl-speed, speed - test library performance

SYNOPSIS

openssl speed [-help] [-engine id] [-elapsed] [-evp algo] [-decrypt] [algorithm...]

DESCRIPTION

This command is used to test the performance of cryptographic algorithms. To see the list of supported algorithms, use the list --digest-commands or list --cipher-commands command.

OPTIONS

-help

Print out a usage message.

-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.
