I would be very thankful if somebody can point to me any reference 
where I can find the typical rates (in bits/sec) for computing hash 
with MD4 or MD5 and then applying public key encryption/decryption 
with RSA (or any other PKCS) on SUN4 - SLC type machine in software. 
I am looking rates for 1kbyte data packets. Any hardware plateform 
other than SUN will also do as I am looking for average figures for
generating digital signatures using PKCS.

What are the average (or claimed) speeds for computing MD4/MD5/RSA 
using specialised hardware (such as Cylink CY1024 (?) public key 
processor) chips?

What are the comparable (to PKCS), DES computation speeds and if you 
know any reference please...

Thanks
