NimbostratusVirtual F5 ECC vs RSA certificates
Hello,
after changing certificates from RSA 2048 to ECC 386 we are suffering bigger CPU impact on version 17.1.1.3. I was checking the internet and ECC keys should be less CPU intensive than RSA keys. So I dont understand it.
Does anyone has the same experience?
Thank you
Best regards

Hey,
for this the plattform is important and also which version and which ciphers.
As far as I read: SSL algorithms that are hardware accelerated (11.x - 17.x) (f5.com)" there is NO ECC cipher which is handled by hardware
