NAME¶
ods-hsmspeed - OpenDNSSEC HSM speed tester
SYNOPSIS¶
ods-hsmspeed [
-c config]
-r repository
[
-i iterations] [
-s keysize] [
-t
threads]
DESCRIPTION¶
The ods-hsmspeed utility is part of OpenDNSSEC and can be used to test the
performance of the configured HSMs.
The components of OpenDNSSEC do not talk directly to the HSMs, but uses an
internal library called libhsm. It then talks to the HSMs using PKCS#11. The
libhsm simplifies the process of creating keys and signatures for the other
components of OpenDNSSEC.
ods-hsmspeed will measure the speed by using the libhsm. The result that you get
is somewhat lower than what the manufactures promises, because the libhsm
creates some overhead to the pure PKCS#11 environment.
OPTIONS¶
- -c config
- Path to an OpenDNSSEC configuration file.
(defaults to /etc/opendnssec/conf.xml)
- -i iterations
- Specify the number of iterations for signing an
RRset. A higher number of iterations will increase the performance.
(defaults to 1 iteration)
- -r repository
- The speed test will be performed on this
repository.
- -s keysize
- A temporary RSA key with the given keysize will be
used for signing.
(defaults to 1024 bit)
- -t threads
- The number of threads to use. Most HSMs will be
utilized better with multiple threads.
(defaults to 1 thread)
