Performance
Here comes several communication scenarios with timing measurements.
Benchmark environment is the following:
CPU architecutre: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz
CPU logical cores: 8
CPU physical cores: 4
CPU clock speed: 3.998 GHz
CPU Hyper-Threading: enabled
RAM total: 31.962 GiB
RAM free: 24.011 GiB
OS version: Microsoft Windows 8 Enterprise Edition (build 9200), 64-bit
OS bits: 64-bit
Process bits: 64-bit
Process configuaraion: release
Benchmark: Round-Trip
This scenario sends lots of messages from several clients to a server. The server responses to each message and resend the similar response to the client. The benchmark measures total round-trip time to send all messages and receive all responses, messages & data throughput, count of errors.

OpenSSL certificates
In order to create OpenSSL based server and client you should prepare a set of SSL certificates.
Production
Depending on your project, you may need to purchase a traditional SSL certificate signed by a Certificate Authority. If you, for instance, want some else's web browser to talk to your WebSocket project, you'll need a traditional SSL certificate.
Development
The commands below entered in the order they are listed will generate a self-signed certificate for development or testing purposes.
Certificate Authority
Create CA private key
openssl genrsa -passout pass:qwerty -out ca-secret.key 4096Remove passphrase
openssl rsa -passin pass:qwerty -in ca-secret.key -out ca.keyCreate CA self-signed certificate
openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -subj '/C=BY/ST=Belarus/L=Minsk/O=Example root CA/OU=Example CA unit/CN=example.com' -key ca.key -out ca.crtConvert CA self-signed certificate to PFX
openssl pkcs12 -export -passout pass:qwerty -inkey ca.key -in ca.crt -out ca.pfxConvert CA self-signed certificate to PEM
openssl pkcs12 -passin pass:qwerty -passout pass:qwerty -in ca.pfx -out ca.pem
SSL Server certificate
Create private key for the server
openssl genrsa -passout pass:qwerty -out server-secret.key 4096Remove passphrase
openssl rsa -passin pass:qwerty -in server-secret.key -out server.keyCreate CSR for the server
openssl req -new -subj '/C=BY/ST=Belarus/L=Minsk/O=Example server/OU=Example server unit/CN=server.example.com' -key server.key -out server.csrCreate certificate for the server
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 01 -out server.crtConvert the server certificate to PFX
openssl pkcs12 -export -passout pass:qwerty -inkey server.key -in server.crt -out server.pfxConvert the server certificate to PEM
openssl pkcs12 -passin pass:qwerty -passout pass:qwerty -in server.pfx -out server.pem
SSL Client certificate
Create private key for the client
openssl genrsa -passout pass:qwerty -out client-secret.key 4096Remove passphrase
openssl rsa -passin pass:qwerty -in client-secret.key -out client.keyCreate CSR for the client
openssl req -new -subj '/C=BY/ST=Belarus/L=Minsk/O=Example client/OU=Example client unit/CN=client.example.com' -key client.key -out client.csrCreate the client certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 01 -out client.crtConvert the client certificate to PFX
openssl pkcs12 -export -passout pass:qwerty -inkey client.key -in client.crt -out client.pfxConvert the client certificate to PEM
openssl pkcs12 -passin pass:qwerty -passout pass:qwerty -in client.pfx -out client.pem
Diffie-Hellman key exchange
- Create DH parameters
shell openssl dhparam -out dh4096.pem 4096
