FIPS for AES

Federal Register: January 2, 1997, Pages 93-94. Announcing Development of a FIPS for Advanced Encryption Standard Agency: NIST Notice; Request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: A process to develop a FIPS for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) incorporating an Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AEA) is being initiated by the NIST. It is intended that the AES will specify an unclassified, publicly disclosed encryption algorithm capable of protecting sensitive government information well into the next century. [Described as a successor for DES by 1998.] ----- http://jya.com/aes010297.txt (8K)
