    // The padding scheme determines the contents of the bytes
    // that are added to pad the result to a multiple of the
    // encryption algorithm's block size.  AES has a block
    // size of 16 bytes, so encrypted output is always
    // a multiple of 16.

    // An initialization vector is required if using CBC mode.
    // 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.

    // The secret key must equal the size of the key.  For
    // 256-bit encryption, the binary secret key is 32 bytes.
    // For 128-bit encryption, the binary secret key is 16 bytes.

    crypt.SetEncodedKey(keyHex, encoding: "hex")

    // Encrypt a file, producing the .aes as output.
    // The input file is unchanged, the output .aes contains the encrypted
    // contents of the input file.

    // Note: The .aes output file has no file format.  It is simply a stream
    // of bytes that resembles random binary data.

    // for decryption.
