Ciphering algorithms play a main role in information security systems. Therefore in this paper we are considering the important performance of these algorithms like CPU time consumption, memory usage and battery usage. This research tries to demonstrate a fair comparison between the most common algorithms and with a novel method called Secured Watermark System (SWS) in data encryption field according to CPU time, packet size and power consumption. It provides a comparison the most known algorithms used in encryption: AES (Rijndael), DES, Blowfish, and Secured Watermark System (SWS).
For comparing these algorithms with each other variations of data block sizes, and a variation of encryption-decryption speeds where used in this research.
In addition a comparison with different platforms such as Windows 8, Windows XP and Linux has been conducted. Finally the results of the experimentation demonstrate the performance and efficiency of the compared encryption algorithms with different parameters.
