Generate AES Key

Generate AES Key function is used to generate a 256-bit AES encryption key and an initial vector from a passphrase. This key can be used to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES encryption algorithm.

This function requires the following inputs:

• 1 The passphrase to generate the key and initial vector from.
• 2 Is the number of times the we hash the material.

The function returns the following:

• 3 The generated AES Key.
• 4 The generated initial vector.

If N Rounds is set to a high value, the generation of the AES key and initial vector may take a long time and have a significant performance impact.
