 | | In general, a single cipher algorithm is used during all data transmission but, as there are many algorithms and they cause different loads in end hosts, their inclusion in the adaptation mechanism makes sense and gives an additional degree of freedom to the programmer and user. |
 | | In general, the ciphering algorithms do not increase the amount of data to be sent, except possibly by a small quantity, so the bandwidth used is not affected by the ciphering scheme. |
 | | The ciphering and deciphering components are specific to each kind of cipher: IDEA, DES, etc. For instance, an IDEA deciphering component gets a frame, ciphers it and passes it to the RTP component (fig. |
