15.1 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

Bigloo support the symmetric AES crypto-system (also known as Rijndael) in Counter mode.

bigloo procedure: aes-ctr-encrypt text password [nbits 128]

bigloo procedure: aes-ctr-encrypt-mmap mmap password [nbits 128]

bigloo procedure: aes-ctr-encrypt-string string password [nbits 128]

bigloo procedure: aes-ctr-encrypt-port iport password [nbits 128]

bigloo procedure: aes-ctr-encrypt-file filename password [nbits 128]

The function aes-ctr-encrypt encrypts its parameter into a string that is the result of the function. The argument text is either a string, a memory mapped area, an input-port, or a file name. The argument password is a string containing the password used for encrypting the text. The optional argument nbits must either be 128, 192, or 256.
