Security By Dr. Prerna Mahajan & Abhishek Sachdeva IITM, India
Abstract- In recent years network security has become an important issue. Encryption has come up as a solution, and plays an important role in information security system. Many techniques are needed to protect the shared data. The present work focus on cryptography to secure the data while transmitting in the network. Firstly the data which is to be transmitted from sender to receiver in the network must be encrypted using the encryption algorithm in cryptography. Secondly, by using decryption technique the receiver can view the original data. In this paper we implemented three encrypt techniques like AES, DES and RSA algorithms and compared their performance of encrypt techniques based on the analysis of its stimulated time at the time of encryption and decryption. Experiments results are given to analyses the effectiveness of each algorithm.

Introduction
any encryption algorithms are widely available
and used in information security. They can be categorized into Symmetric (private) and Asymmetric (public) keys encryption. In Symmetric keys encryption or secret key encryption, only one key is used to encrypt and decrypt data. In Asymmetric keys, two keys are used; private and public keys [1]. Public key is used for encryption and private key is used for decryption (e.g. RSA). Public key encryption is based on mathematical functions, computationally intensive. There are many examples of strong and weak keys of cryptography algorithms like DES, AES. DES uses one 64-bits key while AES uses various 128,192,256 bits keys [2]. Asymmetric key encryption or public key encryption is used to solve the problem of key distribution. In Asymmetric keys, two keys are used; private and public keys. Public key is used for encryption and private key is used for decryption (E.g. RSA and Digital Signatures). Because users tend to use two keys: public key, which is known to the public and private key which is known only to the user[2]. There is no need for distributing them prior to transmission. However, public key encryption is based on mathematical functions, computationally intensive and is not very efficient for small mobile devices [3]. Asymmetric encryption techniques are almost 1000 Authors : e-mail: [email protected]
times slower than Symmetric techniques, because they
require more computational processing power [4]. This study evaluates three different encryption algorithms namely; AES, DES and RSA. The performance measure of encryption schemes will be conducted in terms of encryption and decryption time such as text or document[5]. II.
Encryption Algorithms
Encryption is a well known technology for
protecting sensitive data. Use of the combination of Public and Private Key encryption to hide the sensitive data of users, and cipher text retrieval [6].
a) Data Encryption Standard (DES)
DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm
purpose is to provide a standard method for protecting sensitive commercial and unclassified data. In this same key used for encryption and decryption process [7]. DES algorithm consists of the following steps i. Encryption 1. DES accepts an input of 64-bit long plaintext and 56-bitkey (8 bits of parity) and produce output of 64 bit block. 2. The plaintext block has to shift the bits around. 3. The 8 parity bits are removed from the key by subjecting the key to its Key Permutation. 4. The plaintext and key will processed by following i. The key is split into two 28 halves ii. Each half of the key is shifted (rotated) by one or two bits, depending on the round. iii. The halves are recombined and subject to a compression permutation to reduce the key from 56 bits to 48 bits. This compressed keys used to encrypt this rounds plaintext block. iv. The rotated key halves from step 2 are used in next round. v. The data block is split into two 32-bit halves. vi. One half is subject to an expansion permutation to increase its size to 48 bits. vii. Output of step 6 is exclusive-ORed with the 48itcompressed key from step 3. viii. Output of step 7 is fed into an S-box, which substitutes key bits and reduces the 48-bit block back down to 32-bits. ix. Output of step 8 is subject to a P-box to permute the bits. 2013 Global Journals Inc. (US)

not only for security but also for great speed. Both hardware and software implementation are faster still. New encryption standard recommended by NIST to replace DES. Encrypts data blocks of 128 bits in 10, 12 and 14 round depending on key size as shown in Figure - 2. It can be implemented on various platforms specially in small devices. It is carefully tested for many security applications.

Sub Bytes : The first transformation, Sub Bytes, is
used at the encryption site. To substitute a byte, we interpret the byte as two hexadecimal digits. ii Shift Rows : In the encryption, the transformation is called Shift Rows.
The last step consists of XO Ring the output of
the previous three steps with four words from the key schedule. And the last round for encryption does not involve the Mix columns step. [8] v. Decryption: Decryption involves reversing all the steps taken in encryption using inverse functions like a) Inverse shift rows, b) Inverse substitute bytes, c) Add round key, and d) Inverse mix columns. The third step consists of XO Ring the output of the previous two steps with four words from the key schedule. And the last round for decryption does not involve the Inversemix columns step.

RSA is widely used Public-Key algorithm. RSA
firstly described in 1977. In our proposed work, we are using RSA algorithm to encrypt the data to provide security so that only the concerned user can access it. RSA algorithm involves these steps: 1. Key Generation 2. Encryption 3. Decryption i Key Generation Before the data is encrypted, Key generation should be done. [9] Steps:
Generate a public/private key pair :
1. Generate two large distinct primes p and q 2. Compute n = pq and = (p 1)(q 1) 3. Select an e, 1 < e < , relatively prime to . 4. Compute the unique integer d, 1 < d < where ed 1. 5. Return public key (n, e) and private key d ii Encryption Encryption is the process of converting original plain text (data) into cipher text (data). Encryption with key (n , e) 1.

Conclusion
Encryption algorithm plays very important role in
communication security. Our research work surveyed the performance of existing encryption techniques like AES, DES and RSA algorithms. Based on the text files used and the experimental result it was concluded that AES algorithm consumes least encryption and RSA consume longest encryption time. We also observed that Decryption of AES algorithm is better than other algorithms. From the simulation result, we evaluated that AES algorithm is much better than DES and RSA algorithm. Our future work will focus on compared and analysed existing cryptographic algorithm like AES, DES and RSA. It will include experiments on image and audio data and focus will be to improve encryption time and decryption time.
