A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDARD (AES) AND RIVEST-SHAMIR-ADLEMAN (RSA) ALGORITHM: MATHEMATICAL, ALGORITHMIC, AND PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

Summary/Abstract: Systems for data storage and communication must be secure, and encryption algorithms are essential to this. In this work, the Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) algorithm and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) method are compared. We present a comprehensive comparison of AES and RSA encryption algorithms based on their mathematical principles, security features, performance characteristics, and practical considerations. We also discuss their strengths and limitations in various scenarios, offering insightful information to information security practitioners and decision makers. By analyzing and contrasting the key aspects of AES and RSA, we aim to contribute to the understanding of these widely used encryption algorithms and assist in selecting the appropriate algorithm for specific security requirements. We discuss the mathematical and arithmetic comparison between these two algorithms, and evaluate their performance in terms of security, speed, and implementation complexity. Our analysis shows that while AES provides better performance for symmetric key encryption, RSA offers a secure mechanism for asymmetric key encryption. We also stress how crucial it is to choose the right encryption algorithm depending on the particular needs of the application.
