32 This is an implementation in Tcl of the Advanced Encryption Standard
33 (AES) as published by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and
34 Technology [1]. AES is a 128-bit block cipher with a variable key size
35 of 128, 192 or 256 bits. This implementation supports ECB and CBC
36 modes.

41 data ]
42 Perform the aes algorithm on either the data provided by the ar‐
43 gument or on the data read from the -in channel. If an -out
44 channel is given then the result will be written to this chan‐
45 nel.
46 The -key option must be given. This parameter takes a binary
48 string of either 16, 24 or 32 bytes in length and is used to
49 generate the key schedule.
50 The -mode and -dir options are optional and default to cbc mode
52 and encrypt respectively. The initialization vector -iv takes a
53 16 byte binary argument which defaults to all zeros. See MODES
54 OF OPERATION for more about available modes and their uses.
55 AES is a 128-bit block cipher. This means that the data must be
57 provided in units that are a multiple of 16 bytes.
58
60 Internal state is maintained in an opaque structure that is returned
61 from the Init function. In ECB mode the state is not affected by the
62 input but for CBC mode some input dependent state is maintained and may
63 be reset by calling the Reset function with a new initialization vector
64 value.
65 ::aes::Init mode keydata iv
67 Construct a new AES key schedule using the specified key data
68 and the given initialization vector. The initialization vector
69 is not used with ECB mode but is important for CBC mode. See
70 MODES OF OPERATION for details about cipher modes.
71 ::aes::Encrypt Key data
73 Use a prepared key acquired by calling Init to encrypt the pro‐
74 vided data. The data argument should be a binary array that is a
75 multiple of the AES block size of 16 bytes. The result is a bi‐
76 nary array the same size as the input of encrypted data.
77 ::aes::Decrypt Key data
79 Decipher data using the key. Note that the same key may be used
80 to encrypt and decrypt data provided that the initialization
81 vector is reset appropriately for CBC mode.
82 ::aes::Reset Key iv
84 Reset the initialization vector. This permits the programmer to
85 re-use a key and avoid the cost of re-generating the key sched‐
86 ule where the same key data is being used multiple times.
87 ::aes::Final Key
89 This should be called to clean up resources associated with Key.
90 Once this function has been called the key may not be used
91 again.

94 Electronic Code Book (ECB)
95 ECB is the basic mode of all block ciphers. Each block is en‐
96 crypted independently and so identical plain text will produce
97 identical output when encrypted with the same key. Any encryp‐
98 tion errors will only affect a single block however this is vul‐
99 nerable to known plaintext attacks.
100 Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)
102 CBC mode uses the output of the last block encryption to affect
103 the current block. An initialization vector of the same size as
104 the cipher block size is used to handle the first block. The
105 initialization vector should be chosen randomly and transmitted
106 as the first block of the output. Errors in encryption affect
107 the current block and the next block after which the cipher will
108 correct itself. CBC is the most commonly used mode in software
109 encryption. This is the default mode of operation for this mod‐
110 ule.
