WGU D334 Cryptography Algorithms Overview (Symmetric-Block) Joe_Luster Modified 22/06/24 Save Share Cryptography Algorithms Symmetric Ciphers Block Cipher Algorithms Stream Cipher Algorithms Symmetric Cipher uses the same key for both encryption and decryption.• Block Cipher encrypts data in fixed-size blocks. Examples include DES, AES, Blowfish.• Stream Cipher encrypts data one bit or byte at a time. Examples include RC4, FISH, PIKE.• DES (Data Encryption Standard) is a symmetric-key algorithm for digital data encryption.• 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Algorithm) applies DES cipher three times to each data block.• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a widely used symmetric encryption algorithm.• Blowfish is a symmetric-key block cipher designed by Bruce Schneier.• Twofish is a successor to Blowfish, a symmetric key block cipher with a block size of 128 bits.• Serpent is a symmetric key block cipher finalist in the AES competition.• RCA is a type of stream cipher.• RC4 is a widely used stream cipher.• FISH and PIKE are stream ciphers, with PIKE being the successor to FISH.• Give it a go
