The `AES-Python` package is a Python implementation of the [Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard) using symmetric key cryptography. It supports two different modes of operation ([ECB, CBC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation)) and the key lengths 128, 256, 512 bit. This project was originally created as a school project using almost only built in python libraries, but has now been updated and adapted to more heavily really on the [NumPy](https://numpy.org) and [galois](https://github.com/mhostetter/galois) packages. It has also been migrated to a more [OOP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming) focused structure. (The original school project can be seen in the [legacy](https://github.com/Glindeb/AES-Python/tree/legacy) branch.)
