File is a collection of information that computer uses. The information is sensitive part of the organization. Any loss or threat to information can prove to be great loss to the organization as well to people. There are various means to protect the files from various threats. This paper describes various symmetric algorithms like Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Blowfish, and DESX, a stronger variation of Data Encryption Standard (DES) to protect various types of files such as EXE, DOC, WMV and AVI files. The comparison of these algorithms is done in terms of Encryption and Decryption Throughput.
