- wyager 13y agoAccording to the article, it ranges from 16x more time-complex to 256x more time-complex, depending on what you're doing with it.

- runeks 13y agoNote that with HTTPS, the actual data is not encrypted with the RSA keys. They are only used to negotiate a shared symmetric key, with which everything is encrypted. So it's only the initial handshake that takes longer.
