Abstract

Information security is important in the digital era, with encryption emerging as a fixed solution to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access. This paper provides an overview of encryption by categorizing cryptographic algorithms into symmetric and asymmetric, along with hashing. Symmetric cryptography uses a single key for encryption and decryption, and asymmetric cryptography utilizes distinct public and private keys. Hashing maps input messages into compact bit strings. The literature survey explores the performance analysis of encryption algorithms, focusing on Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA), Data Encryption Standard (DES), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), considering parameters like computation time and memory usage. Furthermore, the comparative analysis of encryption algorithms, including AES, RSA, and 3DES, is discussed. The paper delves into the motivation for cryptography in secure document transfer systems, emphasizing the need for confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Finally, the study presents detailed insights into AES, RSA, and 3DES encryption standards, highlighting their principles and applications.
