I believe it was TLS 2.1 with [AES] GCM (Galois Counter Mode) that was the most difficult concept, because of the multilayers of encryption.
On the one hand, the block cipher (ciphertext?) is converted into a stream cipher (ciphertext?). It's beyond the scope of this course (and my math aptitude), but can the encryption algorithm convert the less-secure stream cipher into the more-secure block cipher instead? On the other hand, Counter Mode combines block ciphertext and plaintext to best enhance encryption. Can the encryption algorithm combine the ciphertext with a stream ciphertext instead?
