DES vs AES
...ent "rounds" with a good algorithm, there should be no correlation between the ciphertext and either the original data or key. The DES algorithm was developed by IBM, in response to a request from the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) for a cryptographic algorithm to protect the "sensitive but unclassified" communications of the U.S. government. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) will be a new Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication that will specify a cryptographic algorithm for use by U.S. Government organizations to protect sensitive (unclassified) information. NIST also anticipates that the AES will be widely used on a voluntary basis by organizations, institutions, and individuals outside of the U.S. Government - and outside of the United States - in some cases.² The NIST has selected Rijndael as the proposed AES algorithm. Dr. Vincent Rijmen and Dr. Joan Daemen are the two researches who developed Rjindael and have also been actively in involved in the cryptographic community. REASONS ...
