Hello, I am writing an application that will decrypt an AES file with a counter attached at the beginning offset. I see that in the CTR mode. Pycrypto Seems to use the top 16-bytes as random data and perpends zero's at the bottom end. For the sake of more security, I would like to provide a counter with a 32-bits of unique's in order to give it more security. I wanted to know if 1) Will I be able to use the Counter class provided with pycrypto? 2) If not what call does pycrpto use to increment the counter so I can provide my own implementation.
