		Interface to low level AES encryption features.

		This class provides access to AES encryption/decryption of raw data. Both AES-ECB and AES-CBC mode are supported.

			<description>
				Close this AES context so it can be started again. See [method start].

		<method name="get_iv_state">
			<return type="PoolByteArray">

			<description>
				Get the current IV state for this context (IV gets updated when calling [method update]). You normally don't need this funciton.
				Note: This function only makes sense when the context is started with [constant MODE_CBC_ENCRYPT] or [constant MODE_CBC_DECRYPT].

				Start the AES context in the given [code]mode[/code]. A [code]key[/code] of either 16 or 32 bytes must always be provided, while an [code]iv[/code] (initialization vector) of exactly 16 bytes, is only needed when [code]mode[/code] is either [constant MODE_CBC_ENCRYPT] or [constant MODE_CBC_DECRYPT].

			<description>
				Run the desired operation for this AES context. Will return a [PoolByteArray] containing the result of encrypting (or decrypting) the given [code]src[/code]. See [method start] for mode of operation.
				Note: The size of [code]src[/code] must be a multiple of 16. Apply some padding if needed.
