A Feistel cipher is a type of symmetric key cipher that is widely used in encryption algorithms. It is named after the German-born cryptographer Horst Feistel, who developed the structure in the 1970s. The primary characteristic of a Feistel cipher is its design, which divides the data block into two halves and processes them through multiple rounds of encryption operations.
