2 newer techinques of stream ciphers
Answer)
A Stream Cipher is defined to be a method meant for converting the plain text to that of the ciphertext on a direct basis which would belong to that of the family of the symmetric key cipher.
The stream cipher would not encrypt and decrypt the block of text at one single point of time, unlike the block cipher.
Some of the techniques which are being used on Stream cipher are as follows:
1) It either uses the binary digits which are to be used and the keystream is defined to be the combination with that of the plain text which is being used for the exclusive operations. This is referred to as the binary additive stream cipher and the sender, as well as a receiver, would have the exact steps for decryption for being successful.
2) Stream cipher uses the smaller yet more convenient key which is 128 bits and with respect to this key, it helps in generating the pseudorandom keystream which gets combined with that of the plaintext digits in a same way as that of the one time pad.
Example of Stream Cipher is RC4 which is the newest stream cipher
