Common cryptographic algorithms
1, DES (Data Encryption Standard): symmetric algorithm, data encryption standards, faster, suitable for encrypting a large number of data occasions;
2, 3DES (Triple des): is based on des symmetric algorithm, a piece of data with three different keys for three times encryption, higher intensity;
3, RC2 and RC4: symmetric algorithm, using variable-length key to encrypt large amounts of data, faster than DES;
4, Idea (International Data encryption algorithm) International encryption algorithm, using 128-bit key to provide very strong security;
5, RSA: Invented by the RSA company, is a support variable-length key public key algorithm, need to encrypt the length of the file block is also variable, asymmetric algorithm;
6, the DSA (Digital Signature algorithm): The signature algorithm, is a standard DSS (digital signature standard), strictly speaking does not calculate the encryption algorithm;
7, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): High encryption standards, symmetric algorithm, is the next generation of cryptographic algorithm standard, fast, high security level, in 21st century, an implementation of the AES standard is Rijndael algorithm;
8, BLOWFISH, it uses the variable length key, the length can reach 448 bits, the running speed is very fast;
9, MD5: Strictly speaking is not a cryptographic algorithm, can only be said to be a digest algorithm;
10. Pkcs:the Public-key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) is a set of public key cryptography standards developed by RSA Data Security Inc. and its partners, including certificate requests, certificate updates, certificate deprecation tables, Extend the contents of the certificate and the digital signature, the format of the digital envelope, and a series of related protocols.
11, SSF33,SSF28,SCB2 (SM1): The Secret of the state Password Bureau of the commercial algorithm, in the domestic civil and commercial, in addition to these are not allowed to use, the other can be used;
12, ECC (Elliptic Curves cryptography): Elliptic curve cipher coding.
13. TEA (Tiny encryption algorithm) simple and efficient encryption algorithm, encryption and decryption fast, easy to implement. But security is not as good as des,qq always using tea encryption
