Performance tests of cryptographic algorithms

Bachelor's thesis deals with analysis of the various cryptographic algorithms that are used for securing communications. The first part is devoted to symmetrical cryptographic algorithms, asymmetric cryptographic algorithms and hashing functions. The second part deals with the security classification and attacks that are used to attack cryptographic algorithms and hash function. The third part deals with the selected testing algorithm RC4 and MD5 hashed function for using CrypTool. The final section provides an evaluation and test results of algorithm RC4 and MD5 hashing function
