AES vs Blowfish for file encryption

Question

I want to encrypt a binary file. My goal is that to prevent anyone to read the file who doesn\'t have the password.

Which is the better solution, AES or Blowfish with th

Answer 1

Both algorithms (AES and twofish) are considered very secure. This has been widely covered in other answers.

However, since AES is much widely used now in 2016, it has been specifically hardware-accelerated in several platforms such as ARM and x86. While not significantly faster than twofish before hardware acceleration, AES is now much faster thanks to the dedicated CPU instructions.
