Abstract: If privacy is outlawed; only outlaws will have privacy. Maintaining privacy in our personal communications is something everyone desires. Without encryption; it would be very easy for sensitive data to be stolen and used malevolently. This paper presents AES encryption algorithms and a comparison between them and other encryption algorithms such as DES; RSA; and Blowfish. It also presents some statistical tests which test the randomness of the used key. A hardware implementation of the AES on the recent Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA is applied on text and biomedical images. Such device is to speed up the AES algorithm and to reduce logic area. In addition; the comparison between FPGA and Matlab is introduced.
