Understanding Cipher names...

[Dixie]

When asking for the cipher names that are available to liveCode... a long list is produced.. In the case of aes 256 there are many variants as depicted by three letters after 'aes'... ie... 'cbc'... What do they mean ?... Is it important to use the correct one ?

example of different cipher names in the list....

aes-128-cbc,128
aes-128-cfb,128
aes-128-cfb1,128
aes-128-cfb8,128
aes-128-ctr,128
aes-128-ecb,128
aes-128-gcm,128
aes-128-ofb,128
aes-128-xts,256

You may be aware, but others here may not be. The challenge of cross-posting is that it becomes harder to follow the conversation, since it takes place in multiple locations. It seemed courteous to let the other members of this forum know where the answer was.
