Time Evaluation Of Different Cryptography Algorithms Using Labview

Abstract

A new LabVIEW simulation design was applied to provide a comparison study among several types of the most common symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms. Also, the comparison with advanced encryption package program was made. The results showed that the new LabVIEW simulation design had advantages in several points, where the evaluated time required for the encryption and decryption processes will be lesser than it values using advanced encryption package program.In this work, the symmetric encryption algorithms were used: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), DES (Data Encryption Standard), 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard) and RC2 (Rivest Cipher) algorithms, while the asymmetric encryption algorithm used was the RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Aldeman) algorithm. The comparison had been achieved using different sizes of text files with different key sizes. The final results proved that the LabVIEW simulation design is better than the Advanced Encryption Package because it increased the algorithm’s performance by 65% in terms of speed and throughput, and for the algorithms’ comparison, the final results showed the effectiveness of AES algorithm over the other algorithms in terms of speed and throughput for the encryption and decryption processes.
