The following modes are approved except where the function is encrypted data storage (see next subsection):

| AES Encryption Mode | Authenticated?* | Reference | L1 | L2 | L3 |
| AES Encryption Mode | Authenticated | Reference | L1 | L2 | L3 |

* All encrypted messages must be authenticated. Given this, for ANY use of CBC mode there MUST be an associated hashing function or MAC to validate the message. This MUST be applied in the 'Encrypt-Then-Hash' or 'ETH' method. If this cannot be guaranteed, then CBC MUST NOT be used.
\* All encrypted messages must be authenticated. Given this, for ANY use of CBC mode there MUST be an associated hashing function or MAC to validate the message. In general, this MUST be applied in the Encrypt-Then-Hash method (but TLS 1.2 uses Hash-Then-Encrypt instead). If this cannot be guaranteed, then CBC MUST NOT be used.
