hi,

A stream cipher encrypts an decrypts one bit ot byte at a time. The encryption and decryption are symmetric. RC4 is a stream cipher.

The other types of ciphers are called block ciphers. The encrypt and decrypt one block at a time.

usually block sizes are 64 bit and *28 bit to take advantage of *2 bit and 64 bit microprocessors.This is one of the reasons.

pls look at the rsa faq below

hope this helps.

Hi,

please only post once and under the appropriate section. A simple solution is to get a second hard disk and plug out the cable when you browse the internet(i.e to prevent your data from being erased or altered). If you are only worried about other people reading your information, you can use encryption products like pgp or digisecret. Invite your friends to some other chat. There are lots of chatservers out there.
