(PowerShell) AES Encryption

See more Encryption Examples

AES encryption. The Chilkat encryption component supports 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit AES encryption in ECB (Electronic Cookbook), CBC (Cipher-Block Chaining), and other modes.

# The padding scheme determines the contents of the bytes

# encryption algorithm's block size.  AES has a block
# size of 16 bytes, so encrypted output is always
# a multiple of 16.

# encryption, and the input for decryption.
# It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".

# ECB mode does not use an IV.
# The length of the IV is equal to the algorithm's block size.
# It is NOT equal to the length of the key.

# Encrypt a string...
# The input string is 44 ANSI characters (i.e. 44 bytes), so
# the output should be 48 bytes (a multiple of 16).
# Because the output is a hex string, it should
# be 96 characters long (2 chars per byte).

# Now decrypt:
$decStr = $crypt.DecryptStringENC($encStr)
