A Literature Review on RSA, DES and AES Encryption Algorithms

Abstract

Now a days, as more and more information is communicated via computers, the need is to ensure that this information is secure and information can be secured by the means of encryption algorithms. Securing information refers to the methodologies that are implemented to protect sensitive information from misuse or disclosure as it causes risk. Encryption is the process of conglomerating or scrambling a message so that only the intended recipient can read it. With the fast progression of digital data exchange in electronic way, Information security is becoming much more important in data storage and transmission. With the evolution of human intelligence, the art of cryptography has become more complex in order to make information more secure. Various encryption algorithms are deployed to make information more secure. In this paper, a survey of RSA, DES and AES encryption algorithms are presented.
