The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
created a procedure to select a symmetric-key encryption algorithm to protect
sensitive federal information. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a
standard used by the U.S. government. It was announced by NIST after 5 years of
a standardization process, in which many designs were evaluated before the
solution was selected.

• Based
  
  on your understanding of how AES was chosen, what is your opinion of the
  
  criteria used?




• Why do
  
  you think these criteria were important?




• What
  
  do you think about the effectiveness and ease of use of AES?
