1024-Bit RSA Key Pair Generation Rate - Modest PC



Hi All,

Not too lazy to research..just wanted to know what to expect.

Using...

Processor AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+, 1900 Mhz, 2
Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)

....with no-assembly C++ code with Knuth's division algorithm for div/
mod

....roughly, how many keys per second can I expect.

All estimates welcome.

TIA,
