The statement that stream ciphers work better than block ciphers for many communication systems such as wireless communications (wifi) is true.

This ciphers combine the the plain-text bits or bytes with a pseudo-random bit stream.

stream chipghers are sutable for network communications. Example: the RC4 cipher and the A5 algorithmare used in cellular-based Global System for Mobile (GSM) communications
