Abstract—Despite  the  numerous  cryptographic 

algorithms being implemented in our world today, we 

still  encounter  issues  of  their  usage.  While  some  are 

very  efficient  in  communication  across  networks, 

others  are  better  in  file  encryption  such  as  images, 

text files etc. The efficiency of these algorithms varies 

based  on  the  purpose  of  encryption.  This  paper 

focuses  on  the  comparative  analysis  of  modern 

cryptographic 

algorithm. 

In 

this 

paper, 

we 

analyzedthe  Advance  Encryption  Algorithm  (AES), 

Data Encryption Algorithm (DES), and Rivest Shamir 

Alderman  (RSA)  and  compare  them  based  on  the 

following  parameters  namely:  computation  time, 

memory  utilization  and  security  level.  A  simulation 

program was developed to make the comparisons and 

result  obtained  shows  that  AES  is  a  better  solution 

based  on  computation  time,  memory  utilization  and 

security level.
