Information security with cryptography symmetric key encryption algorithms: a survey

Abstract

In cryptography, data encryption turns ordinary information into an obfuscated code, and the information cannot be viewed without being decrypted. Thus, cryptography remains the main element of data protection. There are two kinds of cryptography, such as symmetric and asymmetric. There are many existing symmetric algorithms that are used to encrypt data, such as the Data Encryption Standard (DES), Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA), Enigmatic Diagonal Encryption Standard (EDES), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), BLOWFISH, TWOFISH, Rivest Cipher 4 (RC4), Rivest Cipher 6 (RC6), which have been reviewed in this paper. It compares and tracks a summary of productive encryption calculations. The performance is compared with key size, space, time, security, and features of encryption methods.
