What is a substitution cipher?

A cipher that replaces each letter in the plaintext with another letter to form the ciphertext.

Block vs. Stream Cipher

Block ciphers encrypt data in fixed-size blocks, while stream ciphers encrypt data bit by bit.

ECC algorithm type?

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is an asymmetric cryptographic algorithm.

Kerckhoffs's Principle

The security of a cryptosystem should not rely on the secrecy of the algorithm, but on the secrecy of the key.
