TFA comments on the performance impact. It's only about the handshake, i.e. irrelevant.
- Dylan16807 7y agoSaying it's about the handshake is not a comment on performance impact, and doesn't need a patronizing "TFA". Especially when the article just talks about 'signatures', in a way that doesn't make it obvious exactly when this key is being used. This code is probably not adding more than a millisecond, but it's not at all true that handshake speed is irrelevant. If you rewrote the RSA code in a slow secure way, going from 100ms to 5s on a slow chip, that would have very real effects.
