# Function aes128_encrypt

Module: `std::aes128`

```rust
pub fn aes128_encrypt<let N: u32>(
    input: [u8; N],
    iv: [u8; 16],
    key: [u8; 16],
) -> [u8; (N + 16) - (N % 16)]
```

Given a plaintext as an array of bytes, returns the corresponding aes128 ciphertext (CBC mode). Input padding is performed using PKCS#7, so that the output length is `input.len() + (16 - input.len() % 16)`.
