# symmetric block chiper - [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric-key_algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric-key_algorithm) in simply terms, symmetric block chiper is a way where encryption and decryption is uses same key. for example ![image](../_images/f8841d9a7fe98686ae23a987e817c78e2e1ad7e2f2a888bbced99421f2ea341fca3c2d4c8d4bf7a2fa75669a63be6efeaaa1de75f35f0914af6858f8.png) credit: wikipedia.org CLUE: just like zip file this is example of symmetric key algorithm - AES-128 - AES-192 - AES-256 - ARIA-128 - ARIA-192 - ARIA-256 - CAMELLIA-128 - CAMELLIA-192 - CAMELLIA-256 - DES - DES3 example # AES
