Review of Symmetric Cryptographic Ciphers

Anshumaan Chauhan, Ayushi Agarwal

Abstract: Cryptography is a field of computer science which deals with the integrity and confidentiality of the data sent across the internet. It converts the data into a meaningless form, from which the attacker will not be able to infer any useful information. One of the most used types of cryptography for data hiding is symmetric key cryptography. In this paper, we have given a summarized form of all the reviews done on symmetric key cryptographic algorithms along with their advantages and disadvantages. We have also proposed a solution that helps us to overcome the disadvantage of the AES cryptographic algorithm.
