Abstract
Internet
and networks applications are growing very fast, so the needs to
protect such applications are increased. Encryption algorithms play a
main role in information security systems. On the other side, those
algorithms consume a significant amount of computing resources such as
CPU time, memory, and battery power. This paper provides evaluation of
six of the most common encryption algorithms namely: AES (Rijndael),
DES, 3DES, RC2, Blowfish, and RC6.
A comparison has been conducted for those encryption algorithms at
different settings for each algorithm such as different sizes of data
blocks, different data types ,battery power consumption,
different key size and finally encryption/decryption speed. Simulation
results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of each algorithm. .
