Don't use raw AES. It's hard to get it right in the first place. I'd recommend Fernet if you want something based on AES. Fernet is a good high level algorithm that combines AES, safe padding, block mode, and MAC in a sane and safe message format. https://cryptography.io/en/latest/fernet/ Christian -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
