对称算法于非对称算法(国外英语资料) Symmetric encryption algorithm Brief introduction: Symmetric encryption algorithm is applied earlier encryption algorithm, mature technology. In the symmetric encryption algorithm, the data sender transmits the plaintext (raw data) and encryption key through a special encryption algorithm, and then sends it to a complex encrypted ciphertext. After receiving the ciphertext, the receiver needs to decrypt the ciphertext by using the encrypted key and the reverse algorithm of the same algorithm, so that it can be restored to readable plaintext. In symmetric encryption algorithms, only one key is used, and both sides of the receiver use this key to encrypt and decrypt the data. This requires the decryption party to have to know the encryption key beforehand. Characteristic： Symmetric encryption algorithm is characterized by its open algorithm, small amount of calculation, fast encryption speed and high encryption efficiency. The disadvantage is that both sides of the transaction use the same key, the security is not guaranteed. In addition, each pair of users each use symmetric encryption algorithm, only need to use other people do not know the key, it will make your hair both sides have the key number of geometric growth, key management has become a burden on the users. Symmetric encryption algorithm is difficult to use in distributed network systems, mainly because of the difficulty of key management and higher cost. Compared with the public key encryption algorithm, the symmetric encryption algorithm can provide encryption and authentication, but it lacks the signature function, which makes the range of use narrow. The symmetric encryption algorithms widely used in computer private networks are DES and IDEA. AES, the US National Bureau of standards, is about to replace DES as a new standard. Commonly used symmetric algorithm: DES algorithm, 3DES algorithm, REDA algorithm, RC algorithm. DES algorithm is the symmetric cryptosystem in cryptography, an
