Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the two types of symmetric ciphers?
A
Stream cipher and Block cipher
B
Substitution cipher and Stream cipher
C
Caesar cipher and Substitution cipher
D
Block cipher and Brute cipher
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Block Cipher is the type of encryption where the conversion of plaintext is performed by taking its block at a time. Stream Cipher is the type of encryption where the conversion of plaintext is performed by taking one byte of the plaintext at a time.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two main types of stream ciphers, and they each work slightly differently. Synchronous stream ciphers: A secret key generates keystreams, and they’re made independently of both the plaintext and the ciphertext.

Detailed explanation-3: -2.1 Synchronous stream ciphers. 2.2 Self-synchronizing stream ciphers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Digital Encryption Standard (DES) Triple Digital Encryption Standard (TDES) Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) IDEA. Twofish. Serpent. 25-Apr-2022
