This is not a bug. When you do not use the -evp but the algo directly it will not utilize the AES-NI instructions. This is expected behaviour due to the AES-NI routines being completely separate and decision to which call them being done on the EVP layer. The direct routines should not be used directly by applications also due to FIPS validation requirements. |
