🔷🔷 About 🔷🔷

This Fundamental Cryptography in Theory and Python lesson is the 2nd of 2 parts demonstrating, how AES-GCM can be implemented in Python straight out of the official standardization document NIST SP 800-38D which defines the Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) block cipher mode of operation.

In this second part, the implementation of the GHASH function and the GCTR function are demonstrated, which concludes the implementation of AES-GCM.

All code demonstrated serves educational purposes only.
