AES Encryption
Advanced Encryption Standard for secure data protection
Password Strength: Strong
Encrypted Result
IV Used:
Required for all modes except ECB
Decrypted Result
⚠️ Security Note
While AES is a highly secure encryption standard, the security of your encrypted data depends on the strength of your encryption key and proper usage of modes and initialization vectors.
About AES Encryption
- The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric encryption algorithm established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
- AES supports key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits
- Different modes of operation provide varying levels of security and performance characteristics:
- CBC (Cipher Block Chaining): Requires an IV, provides confidentiality
- ECB (Electronic Codebook): Simplest mode, not recommended for most applications
- CFB (Cipher Feedback): Stream cipher-like operation
- OFB (Output Feedback): Stream cipher-like operation
- CTR (Counter): Parallelizable, efficient for large data
