Q: 

Performance of RSA based on keysize

Hi,

A theoretical question not depending on implementation, how much of a decrease in performance is 1024bit vs 4096bit RSA?

Thanks

Thanks a lot Pascal, I searched but couldn't find this info.

You're welcome!

Just a note: Bear in mind that this advice does not necessarily hold for other ciphers - particularly symmetric ones!
