Survey paper comparing ECC with RSA, AES and Blowfish Algorithms

Abstract

Data Security is primary concern for every communication system. There exist many frauds in real time through online in each and every aspect, in order to overcome those frauds which means to keep one?s images and personal information secure, there should be some security algorithms which helps in reducing the frauds. In general, there are many encryption algorithms that can be used to reduce the real time frauds. These encryption algorithms can be classified into two types. One is symmetric encryption and the other one is asymmetric encryption. Symmetric encryption algorithms are used earlier for the purpose of providing security such as AES and Blowfish algorithms. In AES algorithm, the processing time is more and requires more rounds of communication when compared to the remaining algorithms and it is not highly secured. In case of blow fish algorithm, uses a lot of memory and has a relatively long key setup time and it was only designed for software. In order to provide more security the asymmetric algorithms are used such as RSA algorithm and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) algorithm. When compared to ECC, RSA algorithms is little slow and uses larger key or message in size. So, now the most efficient ECC algorithm came into the picture in order to provide high security over the existing credit frauds. This proves the efficiency and the less memory usage after the implementation of elliptic curve cryptography.
