[openssl-users] Request for help in research

[Tanushree Banerjee]

Hey Hi,

I'm using 1.0.2n version of openSSL currently.

I'm using it on ubuntu 16.04, processor is i7 - 6700 Skylake.

Actually I  understand that the code https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Elliptic_Curve_Diffie_Hellman  has omitted the details of how to obtain the other party's key (the peer key) .

So is there any code available online which can be used to benchmark the execution time of the ecdh implementation of OpenSSL ? Is someone aware of that ?


Then please let me know.


Thanks and regards
Tanushree Banerjee

A few more specifics would be helpful here.

Your results here would be portable across systems however one would
need to know the nature of the build and the architecture. I often
single step through functions and thus use non-optimized debug builds
which are vastly slower than a regular optimal build. Also the asm code
simply does not exist on some architectures like sparc ( non T4 ) or
some older powerpc types.

That isn't too clear. How are you calling ecdh() and with what test data?

Hey there UofW type, what rev of openssl are you using?  Should I assume
that you have "OpenSSL 1.1.0g  2 Nov 2017" on some reasonable
architecture?
