Abstract
The growth rate of the internet exceeds than any other technology which is measured by users and bandwidth. Internet has been growing at a rapid rate since its conception, on a curve geometric and sometimes exponential. Today, the Internet is moving exponentially in three different directions such as size, processing power, and software sophistication making it the fastest growing technology humankind has ever created. With the rapid growth of internet, there is need to protect the sensitive data from unauthorized access. Cryptography plays a vital role in the field of network security. Currently many encryption algorithms are available to secure the data but these algorithms consume lot of computing resources such as battery and CPU time. This paper mainly focuses on two commonly used symmetric encryption algorithms such as Blowfish and Rejindael. These algorithms are compared and performance is evaluated. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the performance of these algorithms.
