' Encrypt plaintext file to ciphertext using AES-128 in counter (CTR) mode
' (This will create a file of exactly the same size as the input)

Console.WriteLine("CIPHER_File(ENCRYPT) returns " & nRet)

' Now decrypt it
nRet = Cipher.FileDecrypt(strFileChk, strFileEnc, abKey, abIV, CipherAlgorithm.Aes128, Mode.CTR)
Console.WriteLine("CIPHER_File(DECRYPT) returns " & nRet)
