ABSTRACT: Data Security is the main concern in today’s era. Private data needs to be
secured so that it cannot be stealed by other intruder. The channel through which the data is
transferred is of more concerned than the quantity of data. Encryption of data is converting plain
text to ciphered text. The cipher text is in unreadable form. In this review paper, we briefly
discussed about the different symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic algorithms for encryption
and decryption like DES, AES, 3 DES, BLOWFISH, RSA. We basically compared the different
algorithms on different parameters like Power Consumption, Key size etc. We try to tell about
the best algorithms in different situations.
