AESContext
==========

**Inherits:** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Provides access to AES encryption/decryption of raw data.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_AESContext_method_finish:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **finish** **(** **)**

Close this AES context so it can be started again. See :ref:`start<class_AESContext_method_start>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AESContext_method_get_iv_state:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`PackedByteArray<class_PackedByteArray>` **get_iv_state** **(** **)**

Get the current IV state for this context (IV gets updated when calling :ref:`update<class_AESContext_method_update>`). You normally don't need this function.

\ **Note:** This function only makes sense when the context is started with :ref:`MODE_CBC_ENCRYPT<class_AESContext_constant_MODE_CBC_ENCRYPT>` or :ref:`MODE_CBC_DECRYPT<class_AESContext_constant_MODE_CBC_DECRYPT>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AESContext_method_start:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **start** **(** :ref:`Mode<enum_AESContext_Mode>` mode, :ref:`PackedByteArray<class_PackedByteArray>` key, :ref:`PackedByteArray<class_PackedByteArray>` iv=PackedByteArray() **)**

Start the AES context in the given ``mode``. A ``key`` of either 16 or 32 bytes must always be provided, while an ``iv`` (initialization vector) of exactly 16 bytes, is only needed when ``mode`` is either :ref:`MODE_CBC_ENCRYPT<class_AESContext_constant_MODE_CBC_ENCRYPT>` or :ref:`MODE_CBC_DECRYPT<class_AESContext_constant_MODE_CBC_DECRYPT>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AESContext_method_update:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`PackedByteArray<class_PackedByteArray>` **update** **(** :ref:`PackedByteArray<class_PackedByteArray>` src **)**

Run the desired operation for this AES context. Will return a :ref:`PackedByteArray<class_PackedByteArray>` containing the result of encrypting (or decrypting) the given ``src``. See :ref:`start<class_AESContext_method_start>` for mode of operation.

\ **Note:** The size of ``src`` must be a multiple of 16. Apply some padding if needed.
