What is a stream cipher?

Question Posted / prem narayan


What is a stream cipher?..

Answer / Kumar Sonu

A stream cipher is a type of encryption algorithm that converts plaintext into ciphertext one bit (or byte) at a time by combining it with pseudorandom numbers (keystream). This process creates an encrypted output that appears to be random, making it difficult for an attacker to determine the original plaintext.
