AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. It is mostly used as a replacement of DES. It has a bigger key size than DES which provides encryption at least 6 times faster. AES specifies a FIPS-approved cryptographic algorithm that can be used to protect electronic data. The AES algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that can encrypt (encipher) and decrypt (decipher) information. Encryption converts data to an unintelligible form called ciphertext; decrypting the ciphertext converts the data back into its original form, called plaintext. The AES algorithm can use cryptographic keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in blocks of 128 bits.
The JSONCrypt library is specifically used for encrypting and decrypting data that is sent and received between a client and a server. This library can be easily used by budding programmers to secure their data transmission. The library makes use of 128 bit AES encryption of data, followed by either RSA encryption or developer specified custom encryption of the AES key. This grants the user absolute right to control and manage the security of their data. Further, a user is entitled to various methods of creating an AES key for encryption. Library users include both J2EE and Android developers working extensively on server request and response.
A basic program to encipher or decipher a chunk of text similar to enigma machine. The encipher text can then be send over SMS, WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE and even email. The same program can be used to decipher the message to produce output text. CLI binary available only
