Hi all
when benchmarking des and rc5 with the distributed.net client, i noticed
that rc5 multiple encryptions with different keys runs at 1/3 the speed
of DES.
rc5 is much more simpler than des, so it must be the key sheduling for
rc5 which is slower than des
someone can benchmark separately the key sheduling and encryption ?
