The document analyzes improving the performance of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm using parallel computing on multicore processors. It aims to implement AES using OpenMP to extract parallelism and reduce encryption/decryption times. The methodology divides input data blocks among processor cores to perform encryption/decryption simultaneously. Literature on previous AES parallel implementations is reviewed, highlighting advantages of using OpenMP on multicore CPUs over single-core and GPU approaches. Faster encryption/decryption times are expected compared to sequential processing.
