Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm

Cryptographic Algorithm

The Advanced Encryption Standard, originally named Rijndael, is a specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2001. It was developed by the Belgian cryptographers Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, whose Rijndael proposal was selected by NIST after a five-year public standardization competition, and it became effective as a United States federal government standard, FIPS PUB 197, on May 26, 2002.

  • Lead section
    The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known by its original name Rijndael (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrɛindaːl], RAIN-dahl), is a specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2001.
  • Lead section
    AES is a variant of the Rijndael block cipher developed by two Belgian cryptographers, Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, who submitted a proposal to NIST during the AES selection process.
