About the Tool

This is an Open Source AES Standard encrytion tool,
AES stands for Advanced Encrption Standard. It is a symmetric-key algorithm, meaning the same key is used for both encrypting and decrypting the data.

aes encryption

AES encryption has three different block ciphers: AES-128 (128 bit), AES-192 (192 bit) and AES-256 (256 bit). These block ciphers are named after the key length they use for encryption and decryption. All these ciphers encrypt and decrypt the data in 128-bit blocks but they use different sizes of cryptographic keys.

_aes design

A file (temp_key.txt) for storing the encryption key(s) for file(s)/folder(s) encrypted using the tool is automatically created in the current working directory.
Always make sure to backup the encryption key if not the files cannot be reverted back….!!!
