    ----
Dear all,

I’m Roberto Garavaglia, a software developer. I apologize for my bad English.

I would like to ask you a counsel about an AES encrypted text.
My application log in an encrypted text file to avoid to be read from competitors Wink
The text is like following rows:

YdGJzX77cA0skGONkzDMF6oZckHx1s0J8WONDG9PtvzFw2dzo+K/usbtOFx3YoUSFNkuJEL4GE+UY1Ep7VLPWm8cn/LJp/lSQOjswmfDJhibZ8hf3hIQbci0GDWSEPqm/Lo+XGgZT57v1GK43FPWZnv4G86woC3c0OgnFJZgZ16QNaFVlY50fGUJj0QekXDu94POqelufthAIkGpqrq9J6Mu6uZdCV6qwxxomQ0N0zA=

As you can see in bold there is a repeated structure of text. This is the da and time...
Do you think that this can be a simplification for who want to decrypt the text?

Thank you very much and best regards!
Roberto Garavaglia

You could use AES in 'Counter' mode http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_modes_of_operation#Counter_.28CTR.29
To ensure that your ciphertext all become different.

Cheers, Rasmus.
