The crypto aes library

Overview

The aes library implements AES encryption as defined in U.S. Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 197.

The AES operations in this package are not implemented using constant-time algorithms. An exception is when running on systems with enabled hardware support for AES that makes these operations constant-time. Examples include amd64 systems using AES-NI extensions and s390x systems using Message-Security-Assist extensions. On such systems, when the result of NewCipher is passed to cipher.NewGCM, the GHASH operation used by GCM is also constant-time.

Types

AesEncode = struct (key string, plaintext string)

Contains the data to pass to get ... from.

The key field must be the AES key, either 16, 24, or 32 characters to select AES-128, AES-192, or AES-256.

Commands

get(ciphertext ref) from (a AesEncode)

Sets the reference variable to the result of encoding the plaintext field of a.

Functions

decode(key string, ciphertext string) -> string / error

Decodes the ciphertext using the key supplied, returning the recovered plaintext if the decoding works and an error otherwise.
