The Evaluation of Security Algorithms on Mobile Platform

The rapid development of mobile platform leads to growing demand for network communications, which suffer from increasingly severe security threats as well. Considering the urgent security demand and the limitation of battery capacity, the power consumption of the encryption algorithms plays a pivotal role for mobile device. Aiming at the above problem, this paper proposes a performance evaluation system on Android platform, which can evaluate the state parameters of device battery. Our work provides elaborate analysis and exploration of 10 security algorithms´ energy consumption through extensive simulation results. With the popularity of mobile network and the rapid increase of related applications, it is significant to reduce the power consumption of security encryption algorithms on mobile devices in both academic field and industry.
