+ * 2.14 How do I Benchmark the Ciphers, Hashes and Modes?
+
+ Since version 1.60 cryptsetup supports the "benchmark" command.
+ Simply run as root:
+
+ cryptsetup benchmark
+
+ It will output first iterations/second for the key-derivation
+ function PBKDF2 parameterized with different hash-functions, and
+ then the raw encryption speed of ciphers with different modes and
+ key-sizes. You can get more than the default benchmarks, see the
+ man-page for the relevant parameters. Note that XTS mode takes two
+ keys, hence the listed key sizes are double that for other modes
+ and half of it is the cipher key, the other half is the XTS key.
