This mode is efficient, parallelizable, and has been proven secure given realistic assumptions about the block cipher. Test vectors are provided for AES. Counter Mode admits many variations. The variant specified in this document is secure and flexible, yet it enables a single implementation of a keystream generator to suffice in different application domains.}, }
