Status of approval:
|
|
|
FIPS PUBS 197 has been approved by Secretary of Commerce.
|
|
3.
|
Justification for the specific reference:
|
|
|
FIPS PUB 197 (2001), Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES), specifies cryptographical functions with relevance to the ECI Ecosystem and thus is a normative reference for J.1012 (ex J.dmcd-part3).

Other useful information describing the "Quality" of the document:
|
|
|
AES is the final outcome of a cryptographic algorithm contest with Rijndael chosen as the AES candidate. AES has undergone the NIST review procedures. An AES reference implementation is available at http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/aes/rijndael/
FIPS-197 was published in November 2001.
