Thread: aes implementation

I've been implementing the aes algorithm. It works fine in theory (block encryption and decryption) but I'm struggling to use it to encrypt files. The block is composed of 16 by 16 unsigned chars (as used in the tutorial on this board) so how do I load in a file (not a text file) to the block to be encrypted?

Thanks!

have you done basic binary file I/O in C++ before?
