vectordotdev/vrl#299 adds a choice between LE and BE, but vector still needs to fix documentation
👍 the docs will be updated when the next release of Vector occurs (0.32.0). I'll mark this as resolved by the linked PR.
A note for the community
Problem
By default (and without having a choice) vector using AES-CTR encryption/decryption with Little Endian counter. However there is no clearly defined standard for BE vs LE, 99% implementations are using BE.
See
I think Vector should have an option between
AES-128-CTR-BE
andAES-128-CTR-LE
, or it should use BE by default.At least, the fact that it's using LE should be mentioned in the documentation.
