# wolfCrypt Benchmarks Tool for performing cryptographic algorithm benchmarking. ## Measurements * Symmetric algorithms like AES and ChaCha20 are measured in Killobytes (KB) or Megabytes (MB) per second. * Asymmetric algorithms like RSA and ECC are measured using Operations Per Second (Ops) per second. ## Usage ```sh ./wolfcrypt/benchmark/benchmark -? benchmark -? Help, print this usage 0: English, 1: Japanese -csv Print terminal output in csv format -base10 Display bytes as power of 10 (eg 1 kB = 1000 Bytes) -no_aad No additional authentication data passed. -dgst_full Full digest operation performed. -rsa_sign Measure RSA sign/verify instead of encrypt/decrypt. -rsa-sz Measure RSA performance. - Algorithm to benchmark.

For newer Visual Studio version it may prompt for a one-way upgrade. Then you may have to right-click on the solution and choose `Retarget solution` to update the project files for your Visual Studio version. If you see an error about `rc.exe` then you'll need to update the "Target Platform Version". You can do this by right-clicking on the benchmark project -> General -> "Target Platform Version" and changing to 8.1 (needs to match the wolfssl library project). This solution includes the wolfSSL library project at `wolfssl.vcxproj` and will compile the library, then the benchmark project.
