Abstract:
Internet and network applications are growing
very fast, so the needs to protect such applications are
increased. Encryption algorithms play a main role in
information security systems. On the other side, those
algorithms consume a significant amount of computing
resources such as CPU time, memory , and battery power. This
paper provides evaluation of two of the most common
encryption algorithms namely: AES(Rijndael) , and RC6. A
comparison has been conducted for those encryption algorithms
at different settings for each algorithms such as different sizes of
data blocks, different data types , battery power consumption,
different key size and finally encryption/decryption speed.
Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of
each algorithm and finally a monitoring system that will provide
the comparison of Security Level in RC6 and Rijndael
algorithms.
