Template:TOC-right The Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES is a specification for a block cipher, approved as FIPS 197 by the U.S. government after a public process, which succeeded the weaker Data Encryption Standard.

Starting in the late 90s, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology ran a contest to find a block cipher to replace DES. The result is the Advanced Encryption Standard.

In October 2002, they announced [1] the winner — Rijndael (pronounced approximately "rhine doll"), from two Belgian designers. The NIST page on AES [2] has much detail.
