Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

Advanced Encryption Standard or AES is an encryption algorithm developed by Vincent Rijmen and Joan Daemen. Originally, algorithm was published under the name Rijndael in 1998. After a 5-year standardization process, it was selected as U.S. government encryption standard to replace its predecessor Data Encryption Standard (DES).

Advanced Encryption Standard is a symmetric block cipher with key sizes of 128 (AES-128), 192 (AES-192) and 256 bits (AES-256). Currently, it is one of the most used encryption algorithms.
