Performance Analysis of Symmetric Cryptographic Techniques

Abstract

Abstract There are numerous cryptography techniques, and most users of these algorithms require algorithms that come with minimum cost and greater performance. Example, in banking transactions, preference is taken for security at a higher cost, unlike gaming applications that prioritize speed in their operation, but there is no algorithm that exhibits such characteristics and therefore requires analysis of these algorithms on platforms such as speed, strength, and security to give an intuition in choosing a suitable cryptography technique. In this paper, we have implemented and analyzed the performance of three symmetric algorithms: DES, AES-128, and the AES-512 bit algorithm on grounds of security and speed using the cryptography parameters encryption time, decryption time, and key generation time to detect which one is efficient. Keywords: DES, Decryption, Encrypt
