In today's world, most of the means of secure data and code storage and distribution rely on using cryptographic schemes, such as certificates or encryption keys. Cryptography mechanisms form a basis upon which many important features of a solid security system are built. It is an earliest art and it is defined as the science of writing in secret code. Basically, the cryptography algorithms are categorized into two types which are Symmetric Key Cryptography and Asymmetric Key Cryptography algorithms. The prime goal leading the design of an encryption algorithm must provide security against unauthorized attacks. In this paper, a Block Encryption Standard for Transfer of data (BEST) is proposed to achieve the different goals of security i.e., Availability, Confidentiality and Integrity. This new algorithm is based on the symmetric key encryption approach.
