AES Encryption Methods

The 256Bit AES Encryption Algorithm in PHP + Javascript is also compatiable with AES in MySQL --> is used in package data handling with peers.

The following is the PHP Code for the aes Algorithm

AES Encryption Algorithm was released a number of years after DES used in SSL; it has never been intercept cracked as AES as a cipher and encryption algorithm ~ when implemented with blowfish armoring salts and/or divinne armor salt key component exchange it is known then to be fast and undecipherable for interception...

You can even with the Javascipt pass the variables to the browser using JSON and a JQuery GET query against the page, and pass the variables to the browser in AES Encryption and then use the Javascript AES 256 byte algorithm to decrypt the data live in the browse so even displaying the text it has passed through memory from PHP in AES 256 Byte algorithm as above, and the browser to display it deciphers it with the combination of armoring salt sent to the Javascript and this provides a more secure communication than SSL (https://) that uses really old DES in comparison to AES!
