<code>authspeed</code> - determine authentication delays
</h3><hr>

<p><h4>Synopsis</h4>

<p><code>authspeed [ -cdm ] [ -n <i>loops</i> ] auth.samplekeys</code>

<p><h4>Description</h4>

<p>This program encrypts a test file and determines the authentication
delay to use in the NTP configuration file. There are two choices of
encryption algorithm, DES Cipher-Block-Chaining (DES-CBC) and Message
Digest 5 (MD5).

<p><h4>Options</h4>

<dl>

<dt><code>-c</code>
<dd>Select total cost of encryption. Default is value to use in the
authdelay configuration command.

<p><dt><code>-d</code>
<dd>Enable debug output. Default is no debug output.

<p><dt><code>-m</code>
<dd>Enable MD5 algorithm. Default is DES-CBC algorithm.

<p><dt><code>-n <i>loops</i></code>
<dd>Specify the number of program loops. Default is 20,000.

</dl>

<p><h4>Files</h4>

<p><code>./authstuff/auth.samplekeys</code> - a representative list of
keys
<p><code>./authstuff/auth.speed</code> - a listing of results for a
representative set of architectures and compilers
