AES

From CryptoDox, The Online Encyclopedia on Cryptography and Information Security

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is also known as Rijndael. The cipher was developed by two Belgian cryptographers, Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen.

It is a Block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the US government. It is a successor to DES. AES was adopted by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as US FIPS PUB 197 in November 2001 after a 5-year standardization process known as the Advanced Encryption Standard process.
