An analysis and comparison for popular video encryption algorithms

The security of video in the communication field become the major concern, especially after the rapid development of multimedia technology (internet and mobile devices). Since the using of multimedia data transmission become more and more due to the wide internet using all around the world, the video protection techniques, is becoming necessary to keep that information not accessible by irrelevant public or malicious attackers. The researchers have designed different type of encryption algorithms to secure the multimedia data, that algorithms have their strength and weakness points. In this paper, we will focus on introducing and comparison between the three popular encryption algorithms, DES, RSA and AES, as well to choose which encryption algorithm can be used to exchange video safely, and maintain the balancing between the security and computational time.
