[SCHN96] provides details on numerous symmetric block ciphers as well as some stream ciphers. [ROBS95b] is an interesting and worthwhile examination of many design issues related to symmetric block ciphers.

[KUMA97] contains an excellent and lengthy discussion of stream cipher design principles. Another good treatment, quite mathematical, is [RUEP92]. [ROBS95a] is an interesting and worthwhile examination of many design issues related to stream ciphers.
