npm install cordova-plugin-aes256-encryptionThis _cordova_ _ionic_ plugin allows you to perform _AES 256_ encryption and decryption on the plain text. It's a cross-platform plugin which supports both Android and iOS. The encryption and decryption are performed on the device native layer so that the performance is much faster. The entire operations is performed in the background thread.
1. Install Plugins
_ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-aes256-encryption_
_cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-add-swift-support --save_
2. Declare cordova variable and access the plugin after the platform get initialized
