Re: Crypt COM component very slow (General questions)

Hi kreso,

I do understand that RSA encryption can be time consuming. However, as fare as I know, signing means, more or less, to hash the message with MD5 or sHA1 and then to encrypt this hash with the private key. Therefore, I can't understand why it takes so mutch time to hash 107 bytes and then to encrypt 16 or 24 bytes... do I miss something?

Moreover, it seems that when signing 2 messages, it takes about no time for the second one.

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards,
Michaël
