Folks,
A Happy New Year to you all! 1998 should be quite exciting and hectic for all of us involved in the AES development effort.
Here is the latest news regarding AES. I have just posted Known Answer Test and Monte Carlo Test documentation on our AES home page. The actual link is: <http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/aes/katmct/katmct.htm>.
Information on the API should be made available within several weeks - we are actively and diligently working on that. When that information is posted, I will send you a notification message similar to this one.
In addition, we will soon have a survey for you which will be used to expedite the exportability of AES analysis packages (which will be made available when we announce the "complete and proper" submissions later this summer). More information to follow soon.
As with past messages, this is being sent to all persons who have expressed an interest in the AES development effort (one way or another) within the last year.
Kindest regards, Jim
