Understanding AES Encryption Modes: From ECB to CBC and CTR
In previous posts, we discussed how AES encryption works, breaking down the process of encrypting a 128-bit (16-byte) plaintext into a ciphertext of the same […]
Understanding AES Key Expansion
This post explains how the key expansion process works for AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256. To review some fundamentals: AES is an encryption standard that encrypts […]
AES-128 Encryption Process: A Step-by-Step Breakdown
One of my favorite acronyms in the industry is CCMP-AES. It’s quite a mouthful: Counter Mode Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol with Advanced […]
