8.4 AES Algorithm

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric encryption algorithm that was adopted by the U.S. government in 2001 as a standard for encrypting sensitive data. It is considered to be one of the most secure encryption algorithms in use today.

This API supports the following AES algorithms:

• AES-ECB (Electronic Codebook)
• AES-CBC (Cipher Block Chaining)
• AES-CTR (Counter)
• AES-OFB (Output Feedback)
• AES-CFB (Cipher Feedback)
• AES-XTS (Tweaked Codebook)
• AES-KW (Key Wrap)
