Secure electronic transactions are essential step on the road to electronic commerce and are thus in high
demand. Modern cryptography uses the basic ideas as traditional cryptography, transpositions and
substitution, but its emphasis is different. The technique of traditional cryptography deals with simple
algorithms and relied on very long keys. With conventional encryption, two parties share a single
encryption and decryption key. The principal challenge with conventional encryption is the distribution and
protection of keys. The advantage of stream ciphers over block ciphers is that it can easily implemented
in hardware with relatively few components and is much faster. The fact that bits are encrypted individually
means that, individual bit errors in a ciphertext do not propagate and the only corresponding plaintext bits
are destroyed. Here, four stream cipher algorithms: Onetime pad, RC4, SEAL and A5 are implemented in C
programming language. Compared these algorithms with each other and then the integrated software
combining all of stream ciphers. The principal challenge of conventional encryption is the distribution and
the protection of the keys. Integrated software has been developed combining all the four algorithms of
stream ciphers. One of these stream cipher algorithms can be selected for security and message transactions
with confidentiality.}
