Which cryptographic algorithms is a symmetric encryption method?
Twofish, Advanced Encryption Standard, Blowfish, Serpent, CAST
5, RC4, TDES, and IDEA are all examples of symmetric encryption
methods. In short, any algorithm that uses the same or similar
cryptographic keys for encryption and decryption is a symmetric
encryption method. Symmetric encryption methods are also divided
into two different categories, stream ciphers and block ciphers.
These two encryption methods are much like the difference between
an interpreter and a compiler in programming. Stream encrypts
individual bytes one at a time, while Block encrypts volumes as a
whole.
