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	signa-
       tures 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, be-
       cause 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)
