Comparison of DES, Triple DES, AES, blowfish encryption for data

Question

Does anyone have pros and cons together for comparing these encryption algorithms ?

Answer 1

Although TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider is a safe and good method but it's too slow. If you want to refer to MSDN you will get that advise you to use AES rather TripleDES. Please check below link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.tripledescryptoserviceprovider.aspx you will see this attention in the remark section:

Note A newer symmetric encryption algorithm, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), is available. Consider using the AesCryptoServiceProvider class instead of the TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider class. Use TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider only for compatibility with legacy applications and data.

Good luck
