Cryptography Application Block Performance Counters

The following table describes the Cryptography Application Block performance counters.

Performance Counter	Description
Hash Comparisons/sec	The rate at which hash comparisons were performed.
Hash Mismatches/sec	The rate at which hash comparison mismatches were detected.
Hash Operations/sec	The rate at which plaintext was hashed.
Symmetric Decryptions/sec	The rate at which symmetric decryptions were performed.
Symmetric Encryptions/sec	The rate at which symmetric encryptions were performed.
Total Hash Comparisons	The total number of hash comparisons performed.
Total Hash Mismatches	The total number of hash comparison mismatches detected.
Total Hash Operations	The total number of plain text hashing operations performed.
Total Symmetric Decryptions	The total number of symmetric decryptions performed.
Total Symmetric Encryptions	The total number of symmetric encryptions performed.

A rate counter samples an increasing count of events over time and divides the values by the change in time to display a rate of activity. For more information about performance counters, see Overview of Performance Monitoring in the .NET Framework Class Library on MSDN.
