Which encryption method just needs an EX-OR function to encrypt? Well, that will be a stream encryption method, and where to EX-OR each bit of our plain text stream with our cipher key stream.

AES has become the gold standard for encryption, and will hopefully remain robust in a world of quantum computers. But what if someone finds a vulnerability in it? And surely it is rather complex for simple IoT devices to implement?
