Today, the widespread use of information and communication tools along with the developing technology has facilitated access to information. These developments have revealed the importance of data security. Many encryption algorithms have been developed to ensure secure data transfer. In this article, we have developed a new Genetic Encryption Algo...

In the last nearly 30 years the World Wide Web has become a significant part of our lives, and because of its popularity, many services are based on it. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) has been used to access web data since the beginning, but it had to undergo some improvements as the underlying communication infrastructure has changed. There were multiple reasons for the modifications: increase in the capacity of computer networks allowed more interesting features which changed the user habits. Computer networks today are capable of transferring data by multiple magnitudes than in the beginning. The speed of user devices has been also increased, everyone has got used to faster browsing and lower latency. But with the increase in the number of visitors and overall communication bandwidth, it becomes more challenging for the server computers - web servers - to provide data at the appropriate speed. Moreover, web software developers are putting more and larger active components, multimedia files into their products, increasing the necessary data size. Network devices still rely on the ancient TCP/IP protocol stack to transport data, and this probably won't change in the foreseeable future, but in the most recent HTTP version there is a new application layer protocol, which could help to overthrow some of the problems of older versions. In this article, some “real life” tests were made, to determine how the different HTTP versions - still in use today - behave in extreme network conditions, when the packets carrying the data are lost.
