AEAD AES 128-bit GCM

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates AES encryption using the Galois/Counter Mode (GCM). GCM is an authenticated encryption mode with "additional data" (often referred to as AEAD). GCM is a cipher mode that can be applied to any symmetric encryption algorithm with a 16-byte block size, such as AES and Twofish. In GCM mode, the block encryption algorithm is transformed into a stream encryption algorithm, and therefore no padding occurs (and the PaddingScheme property does not apply). The "additional data" (known as the AAD) does not get encrypted but plays a role in the computation of the resulting "authenticated tag". AutoIt

; encrypted bytes are encoded (again using the encoding mode specified by EncodingMode),
; and the result is returned.

; for any of the Chilkat encryption/decryption methods (such as EncryptBytes, EncryptString, 
; CkEncryptFile, etc.)   Just because GCM mode is demonstrated with EncryptEncoded/DecryptEncoded,
; does not imply that GCM mode is specific to only these methods.
