Max TPS: RSA vs ECDSA
Dear Devcentral, I'm looking at some official datasheets (e.g. https://www.f5.com/pdf/products/viprion-overview-ds.pdf ) and am having a hard time understanding the reason for ECDSA max TPSs being so low compared to RSA.
No document is making the difference between Signature and Verify operations.
I would agree with those numbers if they were referring to Verify operations but in my understanding of the TLS implementation that would only happen if one enabled ECDSA-based Client Certificate Authentication.
When no certificate authentication is enabled on a VS, the operations should mainly be of Signature type and in that case ECDSA (P-256) should allow much more operations than RSA (2048).
Any idea?
