Abstract: Cryptography plays a major role in the network security. In order to secure the data one must do encryption of the original message. In this paper, the design and analysis of high speed and high performance BLOWFISH algorithm is implemented in VHDL coding and compared with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm. The BLOWFISH algorithm involves the process of giving the data and key as input to the encryption block. BLOWFISH encryption algorithm is designed and programmed in VHDL coding. Then it is implemented in Xilinx 10.1. This research is carried in the following steps: designing of encryption algorithm, writing VHDL code, simulating the code on “ModelSim altera 6.5e”, synthesizing and implementing the code using Xilinx’s ISE 10.1.This research aims in developing flexible and technology independent architectures in the areas of VPN software, file compression, public domain software such as smart cards, etc. Also presents the comparison of BLOWFISH and AES algorithms. Experimental results show that BLOWFISH algorithm runs faster than AES algorithm while both of them consume almost the same Power.
