What is AES?

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric-key encryption algorithm used worldwide to protect sensitive electronic data. It encrypts and decrypts data in blocks of 128 bits using keys of 128, 192, or 256 bits. It is widely used in software and hardware to secure data at rest and in transit, for example, in secure websites (HTTPS), wireless security (WPA2), and file encryption.
