What is the algorithm used for encryption within RMEx?
The algorithm used within RMEx is the Rijndael Algorithm in Counter mode of operation. Important features of this algorithm are as follows: • Supports key lengths of 64 bits,128 bits or 256 bits. • Symmetric Algorithm (Same key is used for encryption and decryption) • It is free and not patented • It is the algorithm that is considered the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) • It is a block cipher which encrypts 64 bits blocks at a time. • Counter mode of operation allows the block cipher to work as a stream cipher. Thus the input length does not have to be a multiple of block size.
