When Encryption Meets Efficiency: Analysing the Performance Impact of Data Security Techniques

These days, computer networks are used in a wide variety of home and business settings worldwide. Computer networks play a crucial role in corporate organisations. Device-to-device communication is at risk since hackers can fetch this data without authorisation. As a result, data is encrypted to protect it from online threats. When this encryption procedure is used across a network, it presents serious difficulties. Because it uses a lot of extra network resources to do complex computations, such as encrypting and decrypting data. As a result, it affects computer network performance, which results in a very poor user experience. Finding the best and most suitable solution is crucial to maintaining the robustness and integrity of data security as well as increasing network efficiency. This paper's findings include an evaluation of how encryption affects network performance. Additionally, strategies to lessen the effect of data encryption on computer network performance are included. Through future study, more effective data encryption methods can be developed.
