Block ciphers are a fundamental component of modern cryptographic systems, providing a mechanism to encrypt fixed-size blocks of data. However, to securely encrypt messages of arbitrary length, block ciphers must be used in conjunction with a mode of operation. Modes of operation define how block ciphers can be applied to data sequences that exceed the
