Package aes
Overview
Package aes implements AES encryption (formerly Rijndael), as defined in U.S. Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 197.
The AES operations in this package are not implemented using constant-time algorithms. An exception is when running on systems with enabled hardware support for AES that makes these operations constant-time. Examples include amd64 systems using AES-NI extensions and s390x systems using Message-Security-Assist extensions. On such systems, when the result of NewCipher is passed to cipher.NewGCM, the GHASH operation used by GCM is also constant-time.

Constants
The AES block size in bytes.
const BlockSize = 16
func NewCipher
func NewCipher(key []byte) (cipher.Block, error)
NewCipher creates and returns a new cipher.Block. The key argument must be the AES key, either 16, 24, or 32 bytes to select AES-128, AES-192, or AES-256.
type KeySizeError
type KeySizeError int
func (KeySizeError) Error
func (k KeySizeError) Error() string
