Implementing AES Encryption for Data at Rest Overview AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric block cipher standardized by NIST (FIPS 197) used to protect classified and sensitive data. This skill covers implementing AES-256 encryption in GCM mode for encrypting files and data stores at rest, including proper key derivation, IV/nonce management, and authenticated encryption. When to Use - When deploying or configuring implementing aes encryption for data at rest capabilities in your environment - When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements - When building…
