Difference Between Stream Cipher and Block Cipher (Tabular Form)

Difference Between Stream Cipher and Block Cipher in Tabular Form

Contents

STREAM CIPHER	BLOCK CIPHER
In-stream cipher keys and algorithms are applied to each binary digit in a tiara stream, one bit at a time, rather dun encrypting a block of data.	Block cipher is the main method of encrypting text in which keys and algorithms are applied to block data rather than individual bits like stream cipher.
A stream cipher is less time-consuming.	Block cipher is more time-consuming.
Because of a bit of encrypting at a time. a stream cipher is faster than a block cipher.	As a block of data is encrypting at a time block cipher is slower than stream cipher.
Stream Cipher doesn’t use in chaining modes of operation.	Block Cipher used in chaining modes of operation.
Hardware implementation is easy using a stream cipher.	The software implementation is easy using a block cipher.
One Time Pad is the best example of stream Cipher	Data Encryption Standard (DES) is the best example of a block cipher.
Requires less code.	Requires more code.
Application: SSL	Application: Database,file encryption.
