A Survey on Performance Analysis of Block Cipher Algorithms

In today’s scenario, Security is the most vital form of features in the network and internet applications. Network and Internet applications are increasing quickly, so the importance of the data swapped over the internet are also growing. Hence to provide the required protection against the data attacks is one of the significant solutions in the security related applications. Block cipher symmetric key cryptography plays a significant part in data security systems. This paper offers a comparison among the commonly used symmetric key cryptography algorithms: DES (Data Encryption standard), Blowfish, TDES (Triple Data Encryption Standard), PRESENT, KLEIN. The comparison of algorithm is performed based on Attacks, key size and block size and providing state-of-the-art results in their field.
