What is AES encryption?

In cryptography, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is an encryption standard adopted by the U.S. government. The standard comprises three block ciphers, AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256, adopted from a larger collection originally published as Rijndael. Each AES cipher has a 128-bit block size, with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, respectively. The AES ciphers have been analyzed extensively and are now used worldwide, as was the case with its predecessor, the Data Encryption

Standard (DES).

AES was announced by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as U.S. FIPS PUB

197 (FIPS 197) on November 26, 2001 after a 5-year standardization process in which fifteen competing designs were presented and evaluated before Rijndael was selected as the most suitable

(see Advanced Encryption Standard process for more details). It became effective as a standard May

26, 2002. As of 2009, AES is one of the most popular algorithms used in symmetric key cryptography.[citation needed] It is available in many different encryption packages. AES is the first publicly accessible and open cipher approved by the NSA for top secret information.

The Rijndael cipher was developed by two Belgian cryptographers, Joan Daemen and Vincent

Rijmen, and submitted by them to the AES selection process. Rijndael is a portmanteau of the names of the two inventors.
