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 /usr/local/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)
