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.]
