[openssl-users] Request for help in research

[Tanushree Banerjee]

Hello,

I was looking for benchmarking the execution time of Elliptic Curve based Diffie Hellman of the OpenSSL implementation in C just for my own purpose of understanding. Is there any easy way to do that by coding in C ? Do you have any sample code for that ?


(I have used

time openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -noout -out secp256k1-key.pem

in command line. And it does give me some average timing. )


But using this I don't get timing for generation of shared secret key. Also I would like to know if affine coordinates are used or Jacobian projective coordinates are being used? Is there any way to know all these ?


I also tried this code ->

The code over here gives me a bunch of error

https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Elliptic_Curve_Diffie_Hellman


Is there any other reliable source that has been used before ? If someone knows can you please forward me or let me know? That would be extremely helpful. Thank you for your patience.


Thanks and regards
