<ul>
<li>Ciphers are the cornerstone of cryptography. A cipher is a set of algorithms that performs encryption or decryption on a message. An encryption algorithm (E) takes a secret key (k) and a message (m) and produces a ciphertext (c). Similarly, a Decryption algorithm (D) takes a secret key (K) and the previous resulting Ciphertext (C). They are represented as follows:</li>
</ul>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>E(k,m) = c
<pre><code>
E(k,m) = c
D(k,c) = m
</code></pre></div>
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>This also means that for it to be a cipher, it must satisfy the consistency equation as follows, making it possible to decrypt.</li>
</ul>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>D(k,E(k,m)) = m
</code></pre></div>
<pre><code>
D(k,E(k,m)) = m
</code></pre>
<p>Stream Ciphers:</p>
<ul>
<li>The message is broken into characters or bits and enciphered with a key or keystream(should be random and generated independently of the message stream) that is as long as the plaintext bitstream.</li>
