Propose to add assymetric caveat - signing/verifying is computationally expensive

Open nickrobillard opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

RSA signing and verifying are significantly more expensive than symmetric encryption (like AES). This can be problematic for high throughput systems. Signing operation can introduce a bottleneck in sender's infra.
