1.7.2 AES KW
Description
AES Key Wrap (AES-KW) is a method for securely encrypting (wrapping) other cryptographic keys. It uses the AES algorithm to protect these keys, making them suitable for storage or transmission. AES-KW is designed specifically for key management and is not intended for general data encryption. This demo application demonstrates the functionality of Crypto v4 AES-KW functions.
