Do practical stream ciphers generate their keys with psuedo random number generators?
Friday, 02 August 2024 by Emmanuel Udofia
Stream ciphers are a fundamental concept within the realm of classical cryptography. They are encryption algorithms that encrypt plaintext digits one at a time, typically by combining them with a pseudorandom cipher digit stream. This process is distinct from block ciphers, which encrypt data in fixed-size blocks. The question at hand pertains to whether practical
