'''Advanced Encryption Standard''' ('''AES''') is a symmetric-key block cipher algorithm adopted by the [[National Institute of Standards and Technology]] as an encryption standard. It is the successor of the Data Encryption Standard (DES). It supports key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits. | '''Advanced Encryption Standard''' ('''AES''') is a symmetric-key block cipher algorithm adopted by the [[National Institute of Standards and Technology]] as an encryption standard.
