TL;DR: In this article, the effect of modulation type on the degradation in communication system performance caused by the addition of cryptography is analyzed and a comparison is made between block and stream ciphers with respect to their effects on degradation.
Abstract: This paper reviews the fundamentals of cryptographic digital systems and defines and discusses the two basic types of ciphers. The remainder of this article examines the word and bit error rates in digital al communication systems with block or stream ciphers. Upper bounds and ensemble averages of the error rates are obtained for both ciphers. The effect of modulation type on the degradation in communication system performance caused by the addition of cryptography is analyzed. A comparison is made between block and stream ciphers with respect to their effects on degradation.
