Introduction

The protection of sensitive information against unauthorized access or fraudulent changes has been of prime concern throughout the centuries. Cryptology is foundation of all information security. It is the study of cryptosystems, can be subdivided into two disciplines. Cryptography concerns itself with the design of cryptosystems, while cryptanalysis studies the breaking of cryptosystems. It is a part of modern daily life. As electronic banking and various financial, medical, and legal databases depend on cryptology for security. Currently, the main focused is on parallel implementation of cryptographic algorithms, Performance analysis, development of key schedules, different methodologies of designing of S Boxes and image encryption using block ciphers.
