SPEED(1SSL)

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.
