Prior Art Detail
Summary / Description
| Summary / Description | The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) specifies a FIPS-approved cryptographic algorithm that can be used to protect electronic data. The AES algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that can encrypt (encipher) and decrypt (decipher) information. Encryption converts data to an unintelligible form called ciphertext; decrypting the ciphertext converts the data back into its original form, called plaintext. The AES algorithm is capable of using cryptographic keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in blocks of 128 bits. |

Excerpt
Excerpt At the start of the Cipher, the input is copied to the State array using the conventions described in
Sec. 3.4. After an initial Round Key addition, the State array is transformed by implementing a
round function 10, 12, or 14 times (depending on the key length), with the final round differing
slightly from the first Nr -1 rounds. The final State is then copied to the output as described in
Sec. 3.4. |
