Dear SSLites, Please observe the following operations.
I do the following:- key1 = RSA_generate_key(n, e1, NULL, NULL); num = RSA_private_encrypt(plen, ptext_ex, ctext, key1, RSA_PKCS1_PADDING); RSA_public_decrypt(num, ctext, ptext, key1, RSA_PKCS1_PADDING); Average encryption time is = 5463361 CPU cycles Average decryption time is = 87361 CPU cycles And strangely, values (number of CPU cycles) for some en/de operations are exactly the same! What could be the reason? Then I did en/de with RSA_NO_PADDING and derived following values:- Average encryption time is = 5467457 CPU cycles Average decryption time is = 91457 CPU cycles Probelm: In RSA, should decryption operation take more time than encryption operation? Then I tried to look for RSA benchmark results. I found on http://www.eskimo.com/~weidai/benchmarks.html that RSA-2048 encryption takes more time than respective decryption operation...but the difference is number of ITERATIONs. What is this ITERATION?
