Symmetric Encryption
Symmetric Cryptography utilizes a private key based cryptography where a similar key is utilized for encryption and decryption.
Strengths: -
Preserving Confidentiality
Speed
Simplicity
Authenticity
Availability
Weaknesses: -
Theft or Loss of Keys
Key Distribution
Robustness to attacks
Key Increments
Authenticity
.
Algorithms
The symmetric cryptography could be executed utilizing a wide range of calculations. Most generally utilized ones are DES, AES, Blowfish, Serpent and IDEA.
Data Encryption Standard (DES) : -
The DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm is the most widely used encryption algorithm in the world.
How DES works:
Strengths of DES: -
Weaknesses of DES: -
Advanced Encryption Standard: -
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm offers not only the security but also a great speed.
How AES Works:
Strengths of AES: -
Weaknesses of AES: -
