I have been searching the Internet for good c++ AES code sample/tutorial that teaches the basics of the encryption technology and the use of the Library but so far I have had no luck getting decent material.
good: Easy to understand (Just the basics for on the go study).

Answer 1

Official document of Crypto++ AES is a good start. And from my archive, a basic implementation of AES is as follows:
Please refer here with more explanation, I recommend you first understand the algorithm and then try to understand each line step by step.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include "modes.h"
#include "aes.h"
#include "filters.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
//Key and IV setup
//AES encryption uses a secret key of a variable length (128-bit, 196-bit or 256-
//bit). This key is secretly exchanged between two parties before communication
//begins. DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH= 16 bytes
CryptoPP::byte key[ CryptoPP::AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH ], iv[ CryptoPP::AES::BLOCKSIZE ];
memset( key, 0x00, CryptoPP::AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH );
memset( iv, 0x00, CryptoPP::AES::BLOCKSIZE );
//
// String and Sink setup
//
std::string plaintext = "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aide...";
std::string ciphertext;
std::string decryptedtext;
//
// Dump Plain Text
//
std::cout << "Plain Text (" << plaintext.size() << " bytes)" << std::endl;
std::cout << plaintext;
std::cout << std::endl << std::endl;
//
// Create Cipher Text
//
CryptoPP::AES::Encryption aesEncryption(key, CryptoPP::AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH);
CryptoPP::CBC_Mode_ExternalCipher::Encryption cbcEncryption( aesEncryption, iv );
CryptoPP::StreamTransformationFilter stfEncryptor(cbcEncryption, new CryptoPP::StringSink( ciphertext ) );
stfEncryptor.Put( reinterpret_cast<const unsigned char*>( plaintext.c_str() ), plaintext.length() );
stfEncryptor.MessageEnd();
//
// Dump Cipher Text
//
std::cout << "Cipher Text (" << ciphertext.size() << " bytes)" << std::endl;
for( int i = 0; i < ciphertext.size(); i++ ) {
std::cout << "0x" << std::hex << (0xFF & static_cast<CryptoPP::byte>(ciphertext[i])) << " ";
}
std::cout << std::endl << std::endl;
//
// Decrypt
//
CryptoPP::AES::Decryption aesDecryption(key, CryptoPP::AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH);
CryptoPP::CBC_Mode_ExternalCipher::Decryption cbcDecryption( aesDecryption, iv );
CryptoPP::StreamTransformationFilter stfDecryptor(cbcDecryption, new CryptoPP::StringSink( decryptedtext ) );
stfDecryptor.Put( reinterpret_cast<const unsigned char*>( ciphertext.c_str() ), ciphertext.size() );
stfDecryptor.MessageEnd();
//
// Dump Decrypted Text
//
std::cout << "Decrypted Text: " << std::endl;
std::cout << decryptedtext;
std::cout << std::endl << std::endl;
return 0;
}
For installation details :
How do I install Crypto++ in Visual Studio 2010 Windows 7?
*nix environment
For Ubuntu I did:
sudo apt-get install libcrypto++-dev libcrypto++-doc libcrypto++-utils
