Network Security Using Python: An Empirical Analysis of Advance Encryption Standard (AES)

Abstract

Nowadays, security in network environment is becoming a challenging problem, providing prevention of confidential records arises as a critical task. Modern creation in network can reduce the rate of uncertainty as-well-as at the same time growth of threats increases rapidly in past few decades i.e. vulnerabilities, and potential risks. Confidentiality of crucial informationis one of the main objectives, to protect integrity when its traveling from one node to another, ensure it can’t divulge by malicious insider, anonymous, trust, and malicious attacks.In this research paper, the proposed solution is to design interface where communication can be done in a secure manner, behind it has a mechanism which hide essential information, symmetric key cryptographic algorithm named advance encryption standard (AES) using python with additional library called pycrypto and tries to formulate algorithm efficiency, accuracy, execution time plus system capability.
