Iterated block cipher

From CryptoDox, The Online Encyclopedia on Cryptography and Information Security

Iterated block ciphers encrypt a plaintext block by a process that has several rounds^[1]. In each round, the same transformation is applied to the data using a subkey. The set of subkeys (also known as a key schedule) is usually derived from the user-provided secret key by a special function.
