In this work there are studied symmetric block cryptographic algorithms. The main purpose is to write a software package, which evaluates the reliability of a user-designed algorithm and gives the recommendations for enhancing it’s cryptographic stability. There were identified the key parameters and, which have an influence on the reliability of block ciphers. The results of this study are presented as a code in the HTML programming language. The program was tested on some of the existing symmetric block algorithms and received positive results. One of the main advantages of the projected software is it’s cross-platform feature. The results of this work can be useful in the design of a new symmetric block data encryption algorithm.
