Utilization of HPC for Designing Modern Cryptographic Protocols: Analysis and Observation

Encryption and Decryption (END) algorithms are essential for protecting data privacy in today’s digital landscape. As data volume increases from gigabytes to zettabytes, the need for real-time processing of encrypted data becomes very critical. Since its inception, the High Performance Computing (HPC) offers a solution for optimizing state-of-the-art END algorithms, and improvising the execution time of the modern cryptographic protocols. This study examines: (i) how HPC helps to improve the time complexity of widely used END algorithms (e.g., AES, DES, 2DES, 3DES, Blowfish), and (ii) the suitability of the same approaches w.r.t various real-time applications across different computational environmental platforms (e.g., Big Data, IoT, Cloud platforms, and large-scale enterprise systems). The integration of the HPC into the END principles leads to enhance throughput, speed, scalability, and efficiency, which are essential for the modern cybersecurity protocols design.
