Hello, I'm tempted to use the AES_ENCRYPT/AES_DECRYPT function in MySQL; as documentation says the implementation is 128-bit AES. Thus the keys are 16bytes in length. Now the 'key_str' in the manual can be any length; how is the key generated from that?
also, for multi block encryptions what mode is used? ECB? CBC? CFB? OFB? -- Singer X.J.
