sigtest
Only supported in FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Security Worlds. |
sigtest [options]
Measures module speed using RSA or DSA signatures or signature verifications. If skew or threshold checking is enabled (they are mutually exclusive), the average number of operations per second is recorded at TIME.
If skew checking is enabled, each subsequent operation must be within SKEW of the recorded average. If the condition is not met, the application terminates
If threshold checking is enabled, the average must stay above COUNT after checking starts. If the condition is not met, the application terminates.
