# Performance

Although the **SIGNIUS Sealing Server** and **Client** performance is incredibly fast, the overall results might be dependent on other factors, like:

* Network latency
* File size
* QSCD Performance
* RSA/ECC key length
* Configuration setup
* Host resources

## SIGNIUS Sealing Server
