Easy-AES

Description

• Easy Encryption and Decryption using AES-256 (Counter Mode)
• Any string of length 5 to 32 characters can be used as a key
• Keys are hashed using MD5 in order to meet the key-length requirement of AES-256
• Useful for verification tokens, and use cases where text has to be encrypted repeatedly
