In cryptography, a block cipher is a symmetric key cipher which operates on fixed-length groups of
bits, termed as ‘blocks’, with an unvarying

transformation. When encrypting, a block cipher might take (for example) a 128-bit block of plain
text as input, and output a corresponding
128-bit block of cipher text.
