In October 2000, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology selected the block cipher Rijndael as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is expected to gradually replace the present Data Encryption Standard (DES) as the most widely applied data encryption technology.
This book by the designers of the block cipher presents Rijndael from scratch. The underlying mathematics and the wide trail strategy as the basic design idea are explained in detail and the basics of differential and linear cryptanalysis are reworked. Subsequent chapters review all known attacks against the Rijndael structure and deal with implementation and optimization issues. Finally, other ciphers related to Rijndael are presented.
This volume is THE authoritative guide to the Rijndael algorithm and AES. Professionals, researchers, and students active or interested in data encryption will find it a valuable source of information and reference.
AES/Rijndael (Advanced Encryption Standard) will replace the (former) Data Encryption Standard (DES) as the standard technology for digital data encryption worldwide. Anybody seriously interested in data encryption will have to learn about Rijndael, its security, software and hardware performance, resistance to cryptographic attack and power in implementation analysis and the underlying theory.
This book is THE guide to the new Advanced Encryption Standard Written by its designers First book in the new Springer series Information Security and Cryptography, further information at http://www.springer.de/comp/series/is&c.html Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

"…an excellent choice for people who are interested in how Rijndael really works and who need more explanations than research papers usually contain. It is a book that readers will regularly consult when they need to look up details about Rijndael." –Computing Reviews
