6.5 ECDSA VS RSA SIGNING

Exercise 6.5: ECDSA VS RSA SIGNING

In addition to testing the speed of MAC vs. RSA signing, also compare the speed of RSA signing with ECDSA signing. It’s hard to get a fair comparison because it isn’t always obvious what your key size is with ECDSA, but look at the list of supported curves in the cryptography library documentation and try them out to see which ones are faster in general, as well as how they compare to RSA signing using different modulus sizes.
