Hello Gilles,

The existing MbedTLS benchmark application is using the classical MbedTLS API.

• PSA Drivers are not called by the classical API.
• Finally, MbedTLS will be switched fully to the PSA API.

The existing MbedTLS benchmark application will become obsolete, without a replacement.

Thanks,

Andrej Butok,

Hello,

We are not currently working on a benchmark application through PSA interfaces, and I'm not aware of anyone trying to contribute one to Mbed TLS. I've seen benchmark code out there used to demonstrate hardware vs software performance, but I don't remember where, or if the source was available.

The crypto API and the legacy API call the same functions underneath, and the performance is dominated by the cryptographic operations and not the dispatch code, so in terms of performance, this wouldn't matter. However, having a benchmark application using PSA APIs would be useful to compare PSA drivers.

Best regards,

Hi,

For mbedtls API’s, there is a benchmark application available. Are there any plans to implement benchmark application for PSA crypto APIs ?
