Abstract

Encryption is a basic technique to achieve data confidentiality. A number of algorithms including RSA, DES, Blowfish, and AES have been parallelized using MPI and have been employed for practical file encryption.  Unified performance analysis of all these algorithms has been presented using two ECB and counter modes. On basis of experimental results, some guidelines have been suggested for the end-user to select the appropriate algorithm for achieving enhanced speed up
