README (908B)
1 The crypto::aes module provides an implementation of the Advanced Encryption 2 Standard per the [[crypto::cipher::block]] interface. Several implementations of 3 AES are provided which are optimized for different scenarios. To choose the most 4 appropriate one for your system, use [[aes]]. 5 6 When combined with a block cipher mode from [[crypto::cipher::]], suitable 7 buffer lengths for static allocation are provided as constants such as 8 [[BLOCKSZ]], [[CTR_BUFSZ]], and [[CBC_BUFSZ]]. 9 10 This is a low-level module which implements cryptographic primitives. Direct use 11 of cryptographic primitives is not recommended for non-experts, as incorrect use 12 of these primitives can easily lead to the introduction of security 13 vulnerabilities. Non-experts are advised to use the high-level operations 14 available in the top-level [[crypto::]] module. 15 16 Be advised that Hare's cryptography implementations have not been audited.
