Comparative Study of Different Cryptographic Algorithms

Abstract Since large amount of data has debouched in the coming years, Data security has become the most important aspect of information sharing. We put more private data in the cloud ever since cloud came into the technology life. Practically, the quantity of data to be transferred is not the concern. The important factor is the Channel, through which the data is transferred, should be secured. Cryptography is one such technique which is responsible for secure transmission of the data. And, using cryptographic techniques we can provide security to the information, over the air. This paper classifies the two types of Encryption Algorithm, Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption Algorithm, and presents a comparative survey on its types like AES, DES, RSA and BLOWFISH.
