The Counter (CTR) mode of operation is a widely utilized technique in the realm of block cipher encryption, known for its efficiency and versatility. Unlike other modes of operation, such as Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) or Electronic Codebook (ECB), CTR mode exhibits unique characteristics that make it particularly suitable for parallel processing during both encryption
