How to create a test data file for a block cipher algorithm

[vgisc-labs]

I want to integrate a new dedicated block cipher algorithm.

I don't know how to create a data file (Eg: block-ciphers/test/data/*.blb) for testing.

Can anyone who knows this tell how these data files are created?

I already have the test vector files for the block cipher algorithm planned to be integrated into the library package.

However, I don't know how to create *.blb files in Rust's testing format

If you have only a small number of test vectors you can start with hex!-based tests.

One way to generate blb files is to use the convert binary. You can prepare a text file with hex-encoded strings and convert it using cargo run --release --example convert -- encode hex_input.txt encoded_output.blb.
