Actually after the company renaming last year it is simply
"RSA Security Inc" ... so RSADSI isn't correct any longer.
Ben, have you compared the performance of OpenSSL against the
equivalent RSA Security Inc product which is RSA BSAFE SSL-C?
i.e - do you have any real data to back up this statement?
I happen to be in a position where I do have access to information
that completely contradicts your statement so it would be useful to
understand the foundation on which you make this claim.
