<cpp> Hello Nikos,

Yes, this is the way it suppose to work.

To encrypt a large data array, you should use the given block encryption in a proper encryption mode. Choosing a mode and implementing it is entirely up to you and your application.

You may learn more about encryption modes at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_modes_of_operation

Best regards, Ilya
