I have run an experiment of AES encryption on mobile and then repeated it on PC, what doesn't make sense to me is speed of AES on PC is slower than it on mobile, although the data and key size is the same..any idea?
 
Solution
Depends on the hardware used, decoding encryption in hardware vs software is a lot faster. And can be faster between hardware as well. New phone hardware will probably be faster than an older PC wireless card.

thank you for your reply sir..
actually the specification i used for PC are Intel i3 Processor and a memory of 4GB. i used netbeans to obtain the results on PC and eclipse to run it on mobile. can i get any reference for your clarification? as i am writing my masters thesis..

thanks again

 


If you are doing this for your masters, you already have more info that me LOL

Last time I read about encryption speeds was when the chipset makers started putting hardware decryption capabilities into their produces, even the low cost ones. http://www.via.com.tw/en/initiatives/padlock/
