Stream Ciphers

Stream ciphers are a type of encryption algorithm that encrypts data in a continuous stream, one bit or byte at a time, using a keystream generated from a secret key. They are widely used in various applications, including secure web browsing, virtual private networks, and mobile communications, due to their high speed and efficiency in encrypting large amounts of data, making them a crucial component in protecting sensitive information and ensuring data confidentiality in the tech industry.
