    Posted Fri October 20, 2023 10:20 AM

    Hi Team

    I will implement AES256-ECB Algorithm for Encryption/Decryption mechanism using secret key . Does datapower support this if yes then please tell me how i implement this.

    Hi,

    DataPower does not support any ECB mode.

    Reason is that ECB is  unsecure, and always a CBC (cipher block chaning mode) is preferable.
    Please have a look at the image encoded with ECB and CBC at end of ECB section.
    That makes pretty clear considering ECB is a bad thing:
