Advanced Encryption Standard - symmetric encryption for secure data
About AES Encryption
What is AES?
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric encryption algorithm established by the U.S. NIST in 2001.
Key Sizes
AES-128 (16 chars), AES-192 (24 chars), AES-256 (32 chars). Longer keys provide stronger security.
CBC Mode
Cipher Block Chaining mode uses an IV to ensure that identical plaintext blocks produce different ciphertext.
Security Note
Keep your secret key safe. Never share it through insecure channels. Use a key management system for production.
🔐 Security Best Practices
Use AES-256 (32 character key) for sensitive data requiring the highest security level.
Always use a random IV for each encryption. Never reuse an IV with the same key.
Store IV with ciphertext - The IV is not secret and must be available for decryption.
For production use, consider using authenticated encryption like AES-GCM instead of CBC.
