Oracle's cryptography benchmark measures security performance on
important Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) functions. Oracle's SPARC M7
processor with its security software in silicon is faster than
current and recent x86 servers. In this test, the performance of
on-processor digest operations is measured for three sizes of
plaintext inputs (64, 1024 and 8192 bytes) using three SHA2 digests
(SHA512, SHA384, SHA256) and the older, weaker SHA1 digest.
