Understanding Encryption & SSH Cipher Benchmarking
Pages 486 - 488
Abstract
With the advancement in technology, cybersecurity is becoming more important these days. The United States should have the most advanced cybersecurity to protect itself and its citizens from foreign hackers because other nations are building more sophisticated cyberinfrastructure. At the Texas Advanced Computing Center, maintaining security of personal information and data transfers is very important. Benchmarking scripts created in this project can test ciphers to find ones that are stronger but more efficient than most. Bash scripts were created in this project to test the efficiency of ciphers’ encryption time in an automatic way. Ciphers were studied to see which encrypted and decrypted a 2-gigabyte file the quickest.
