What is the Data Encryption Standard (DES)? - SDxCentral
Nov 26, 2001 · Abstract 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. Learn about NSA's role in U.S. cybersecurity. Includes information for students and educators, cybersecurity professionals, job seekers/careers, and also partners and affiliates. the suitability of standards and guidelines, and so that NIST and others can take advantage of those advances to strengthen standards and guidelines.
