Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A Stream Cipher can be used for symmetric key cryptography, or when the similar key is used to encrypt and decrypt data.
Detailed explanation-2: -A stream cipher encrypts a continuous string of binary digits by applying time-varying transformations on plaintext data. Therefore, this type of encryption works bit-by-bit, using keystreams to generate ciphertext for arbitrary lengths of plain text messages.
