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

(Please send me email, if you can, as it will reach me faster than a posting
on bulletin board. If there is interest, I will summarise the responses.)

I did a quick benchmark-- 6 seconds of cpu for computing the MD5 on 5MB
of data on a Sparc II.
