AES Algorithm (Rijndael) Information

Information on the AES algorithm (Rijndael) is available, including the original specification, test values, and intellectual property (IP) statements.

• Rijndael Specification [1020KB] (from original submission)
  Those who are interested in the AES specification (i.e., what will be in the standard) should refer to the FIPS Publication 197 for the AES.
  
  
• Test Values
  
  
• Intellectual Property statements (from original submission)
       Round 2 update to Intellectual Property statements
  
  
• Supporting Documentation (from original submission)
  
  

• Rijndael Developers' Contact Information

Rijndael Code

Some implementations of Rijndael are available.

• Rijndael Home Page
• Brian Gladman's implementation of Rijndael in C++ and C; now also includes code and test vectors for Rijndael with 24- and 32-byte block sizes (non-AES sizes).
• Java servlet from Cass Crockatt.
