Advanced Encryption Standard
<cryptography, algorithm> (AES) The NIST's replacement for the Data
Encryption Standard (DES). The Rijndael /rayn-dahl/ symmetric block cipher,
designed by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, was chosen by a NIST contest to be
AES.
AES is Federal Information Processing Standard FIPS-197.
AES currently supports 128, 192 and 256-bit keys and encryption blocks, but may
be extended in multiples of 32 bits.
