Crypto/standard: Rijndael folgt DES 
 
In der Nachfolge der angejahrten DES-Verschlüsselung hat  
der belgische Algorithmus Rijndael [sprich: Reindol] vorläufig  
das Rennen gemacht. Das National Standard Insitute der  
USA testet Rijndael noch bis 2001.

A worldwide competition to develop a new encryption  
technique that can be used to protect computerized  
information ended today when Secretary of Commerce  
Norman Y. Mineta announced the nation's proposed new  
Advanced Encryption Standard.  
 
Mineta named the Rijndael (pronounced Rhine-doll) data  
encryption formula as the winner of a three-year competition  
involving some of the world's leading cryptographers.  
 
"Once final, this standard will serve as a critical computer  
security tool supporting the rapid growth of electronic  
commerce," Mineta said. "This is a very significant step  
toward creating a more secure digital economy. It will allow e- 
commerce and e-government to flourish safely, creating new  
opportunities for all Americans," he said.  
 
Computer scientists at the National Institute of Standards  
and Technology, an agency of the Commerce Department's  
Technology Administration, organized the international  
competition in a drive to develop a strong information  
encryption formula to protect sensitive information in federal  
computer systems. Many businesses are expected to use  
the AES as well. 
 
The proposed selection of Rijndael as the AES will be  
formally announced in the Federal Register in several  
months, and NIST then will receive public comments on the  
draft Federal Information Processing Standard for 90 days. 
 
Researchers from 12 different countries worked on developing  
advanced encoding methods during the global competition.
