<p class="MsoNormal">Hi<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Firstly, my knowledge of GPG is very weak and I am not a UNIX administrator, so my access and knowledge are rather limited.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been asked to set up file encryption / decryption of files transferred between our SUN OS servers and two customer’s servers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One customer is using a basic 2048 size key, the other a 3072 key.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">GPG has been installed and I have created my keys per the requirements of the clients and imported their keys without issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can encrypt files for them Ok and can decrypt the files they send me.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, the time taken to encrypt and decrypt each file is colossal – between 6 (2048 key files) and 15 seconds (3072 key files) per file.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have set this up on two different local servers (same OS) and get the same results.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The server details are: SunOS ioponnet-kn-t1 5.10 Generic_142909-17 sun4v sparc sun4v<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have tried recreating the keys locally, but no change.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other party says that encryption / decryption at their end takes in the order of 50ms per file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone suggest anything to help reduce the time to something more viable?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ian<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
