In cryptography, Stream ciphers and Block ciphers are two encryption/decryption algorithms that belong to the family of symmetric key ciphers. Typically a cipher takes a plain-text as input and produces a ciphertext as output. Block ciphers encrypts fixed-length block of bits using an unvarying transformation.lthough both stream ciphers and block ciphers belong to the family of symmetric encryption ciphers, there are some key differences. Block ciphers encrypt fixed length blocks of bits, while stream ciphers combine plain-text bits with a pseudorandom cipher bits stream using XOR operation.
