Encryption, the transformation of data into a form that prevents anyone unauthorized from understanding that data, is a fundamental technology that enables online commerce, secure communication, and ...

Algorithms for encrypting computer data come in two main varieties: symmetric and asymmetric. Each encryption type has inherent strengths and weaknesses. Symmetric algorithms convert plain-text data ...

Asymmetric-key algorithms are generally slower than symmetric-key algorithms and are used in cases where only a single operation of the algorithm is required, such as the generation of a digital ...

In this paper, the authors present a peer analysis in the field of encryption algorithms, in concentrating on private key block ciphers which are generally used for bulk data and link encryption. They ...
