Questions: adacrypt


1 Is there a word for how much memory each plaintext uses when it is
encrypted into ciphertext in cryptography - like say 'specific volume
of memory' of the ciphertext - memory per item?- memory per character?
- memory per block? of the original plaintext character.

2) How important is this from a design point of view given that memory
has become very cheap now.

3) Which cipher has the better rating from this point of view.

Thanks in anticipation - adacrypt
