AES is a cipher for a single block.  For files larger than the block
size, you'll need to use it in some sensible mode like AES-GCM.  All
modes of course require a high-entropy key and some of them require a
well-chosen nonce or IV (initialization vector).  Please use caution in
making these decisions!
