The security and efficiency in terms of performance are the core requirements of cryptographic based algorithms. Recommendations proposed by the FIPS 140-2 standard emphasis on the correct implementations of the cryptographic algorithms after passing through a number of tests. Performance tests provide more security and efficient implementations on different operating systems and platforms (32 bits). The proposed work helps in selecting the best Block Cipher after performing various tests. This work is more focused on performing a comprehensive efficiency based analysis on different types of the most frequently used data in various formats like Text, Images, Audio/Video streams etc.
