This paper presents a comparative analysis of three widely used encryption algorithms, namely AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), RC (Rivest Cipher), and Twofish, with a focus on their performance in data encryption and decryption. The study aims to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of these algorithms in terms of security, speed, and efficiency. The analysis involves benchmarking the algorithms against various performance metrics, including encryption time, decryption time, key size, and resistance against cryptanalysis attacks. Additionally, the research explores the impact of different data sizes and configurations on the performance of each algorithm. The findings of this study will provide valuable insights for decision-makers and practitioners in selecting the most suitable encryption algorithm for their specific needs, considering the tradeoffs between security and performance.
