• Description:
  To generate an AES key, a cryptographic algorithm is used to create a symmetric secret key, which is used for both encryption and decryption of data. The key length can be 128, 192, or 256 bits, depending on the desired level of security. The key generation process typically involves using a secure random number generator to produce a key of the chosen length. Larger key sizes provide stronger encryption but may affect performance.
  
  AES key generation is typically done using a KeyGenerator in Java. This class initializes the key size and generates the secret key securely. The AES key must be kept confidential, as anyone with access to it can decrypt the data encrypted with it. The process does not involve complex mathematical operations, unlike asymmetric encryption algorithms such as RSA, and is designed to be fast and efficient for large-scale data encryption.
