Figure 44: Generating 20,000 files with symmetric encryption
From these results it is also possible to calculate the amount of time it takes to
produce these files using no encryption, symmetric encryption and asymmetric
encryption. Figure 45 shows the comparison in the length of time it takes to encrypt
events, with symmetric encryption, that are generated when files are created on a
system.
