1. Classic" encryption (with secret key)
1.1 Block and serial algorithms
In "classical" cryptography (i.e. with secret keys), a distinction is usually made between stream ciphers and block ciphers:
the first operate on each unit of information; usually the bit, the binary digit ;
the latter operate on longer, fixed-size blocks, usually of a few tens of bits.
These algorithms are widely used. They are very fast, unlike most public-key algorithms (such as RSA, described in 2.2.1
