Description
It would be nice to have support for AES Encryption/Decryption with ECB cipher mode. I know that at least the OS X APIs has support for ECB and so does OpenSSL. While there are great cases that ECB mode should not be used historically, there are some use cases I have run to where data that is encrypted using AES ECB is encrypted (along with other data) a second time with AES in CBC mode. I would rather not have to depend on another encryption library just for that use case.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the existing AES cipher-mode implementation and its backend abstraction. Done means interoperable AES-ECB encryption and decryption support, with tests covering the requested mode and the project's cryptographic API conventions.
