      - The `pad_data` function pads the data using PKCS7 padding to ensure that the data length is a multiple of the block size required by AES. - The `unpad_data` function removes the padding after decryption. 3. **Encrypt Data**: - T

      2. **Pad Sequences**: Pad shorter sequences to match the maximum length. 3. **Masking**: Optionally, use masking to ignore the padded parts during training. ### Example Implementation Let's walk through an example where we have a dataset
