-------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT------------------------------------------------Advanced mobile devices, known as smartphones, are a class of devices built at their core around ease of connectivity and always-on accessibility of online services. Security is one of the most challenging aspects in the internet and network applications. Symmetric key algorithms are a typically efficient and fast cryptosystem, so it has significant applications in many realms. For a Mobile adhoc network with constraint computational resources, the cryptosystem based on symmetric key algorithms is extremely suitable for such an agile and dynamic environment, along with other security strategies. The paper presents a comparison study of block ciphers such as AES, DES, 3DES, Blowfish, RC2, and RC6 on the basis of block size, key size, and speed.
