Re: Delay at first use of OpenSSL functions

didn't you read what wez said? they're gathering entropy... you *can't* (and shouldn't want to) prevent that. Vladas Shukevichus wrote:

Hello, Gents, When I use any OpenSSL encryption/decryption function (like openssl_seal, openssl_open, openssl_public_encrypt, openssl_private_decrypt, etc.) it takes very long time to execute, when it has been called in a first time. After that other function calls performs very fast in the same script. [18 Jan 1:23am CET] wez@php.net: Not a php bug; the openssl libraries are gathering entropy on that first hit. How can I prevent this? All scripts executes a second longer, if there are any OpenSSL function. Reproduce code: --------------- $btime = microtime(true); openssl_seal('Some information', $sealed, $ekeys, array(openssl_get_publickey('file://C:\512.pub'))); echo 'Time: '.(microtime(true) - $btime); $btime = microtime(true); openssl_seal('Some information', $sealed, $ekeys, array(openssl_get_publickey('file://C:\1024.pub'))); echo '<br>Time: '.(microtime(true) - $btime); Expected result: ---------------- Time: 0.00************ Time: 0.00075888633728 Actual result: -------------- Time: 0.969028949738 Time: 0.00075888633728
