Answer:
In a stream cipher, the information is ciphered byte-by-byte.
In a block cipher, the information is ciphered block by block.
Explanation:
Suppose I have the following text:
Buffalo Bills New England Patriots
New York Jets Miami Dolphins
Each line is one byte, so, on the stream cipher, i am going to apply the ciphering algorithm on:
The letter B
The letter u
The letter f
Until
The letter s(of Miami Dolphins)
Now for the block cipher, i am saying that each line is a block, so the algorithm is going to be applied.
First on: Buffalo Bills New England Patriots
Then: New York Jets Miami Dolphins
