Aes Encryption | Vibepedia

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely used symmetric-key block cipher for encrypting electronic data, established by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2001. Developed by Belgian cryptographers [[joan-daemen|Joan Daemen]] and [[vincent-rijmen|Vincent Rijmen]], AES has become the de facto standard for securing digital data. It supersedes the outdated [[data-encryption-standard|Data Encryption Standard (DES)]] and is used by governments, financial institutions, and industries globally.
