1.7.3 AES XTS
Description
AES-XTS is a strong encryption standard commonly used for protecting data at rest, such as on hard drives and storage devices. It is a block cipher mode that uses two AES keys to provide enhanced security against certain types of attacks. It's considered a robust method for safeguarding sensitive information. This demo application demonstrates the functionality of Crypto v4 AES-XTS functions.
