Most encryption algorithms use the block cipher method, which codes fixed blocks of input. Others use the stream method, which encrypts one bit at a time.

RC2 is a block cipher that encrypts data in blocks of 64 bits. The size of the output of the algorithm is always a multiple of the block size. The RC2 key size can range from 8 to 256 bits. RC4 A ...

What does stream cipher actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

Here, we introduce our IP core based on our new stream cipher called VSC (vector stream cipher), which are suitable for implementing high-speed encryption with highest efficiency. INTRODUCTION The ...

Stream ciphers employ symmetric key cryptography, an approach that uses one key for encryption and another closely-related key for decryption.

Scientists develop a chaos-based stream cipher that can withstand attacks from large-scale quantum computers.
