aes_new

Item

Description

Syntax

aes_new(config)

Description

Creates an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) object, which is used for subsequent encryption and decryption operations. To perform encryption, call the aes_enc() function. To perform decryption, call the aes_dec() function.

Parameter

The config parameter is of the dictionary type and includes the following arguments:

  • key: the key, which is of the string type. This parameter is required.

  • salt: the salt value, which is of the string type. This parameter is optional.

  • cipher_len: the length of the key. This parameter is required. Valid values: 128, 192, and 256.

  • cipher_mode: the mode used for encryption or decryption. This parameter is required. Valid values: ecb, cbc, ctr, cfb, and ofb.

  • iv: the initial vector, which is of the string type. This parameter is optional.

Return value

If the function succeeds, an AES object (dictionary type) is returned. Otherwise, false is returned.

Example

aes_conf = []
plaintext = ''
if and($http_mode, eq($http_mode, 'ecb-128')) {
  set(aes_conf, 'key', 'ab8bfd9f-a1af-4ba2-bbb0-1ee520e3d8bc')
