Compiling

git clone https://github.com/yhetman/aes256
cd aes256
make

To reocompile the code use:

make re

Usage

./aes -i ./input_file -o ./output_file -s {16 | 24 | 32} -k ./key_file -m {1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5}

Options and flags

Flags:
	-i  -- specify ./path/to/input/file
	-o  -- specify ./path/to/output/file
	-k  -- specify ./path/to/key/file
	-s	-- specify the key length in bytes.
	-e	-- specify the encrypting process.
	-d	-- specify the decrypting process.
	-m	-- specify stream mode of AES.

Available stream modes:
		1 -- ECB;
		2 -- CBC;
		3 -- CFB;
		4 -- OFB;
		5 -- CTR
