AES is a 128-bit block cipher: it is incapable of producing outputs except in
multiples of 128 bits (16 bytes). ECB m

Then this isn't a question related to encipherment: this is a protocol
question. Once you start looking at the protocol layer, other things have

The short answer is "yes," but it's hard to give a more precise answer
without knowing a lot of specifi
