What is your understanding of the difference between a stream cipher and a block cipher?

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

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
