AES: An overview of the Rijndael Encryption Algorithm
Melvin Tsai, 18 Oct 2000

Mescal is focused on networks as our principle design 
driver, and security is a big part of emerging network 
technologies.  Rijndael, a symmetric-key block cipher, 
has been chosen as the new encryption algorithm for NIST's 
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).  Attached to this 
article is a short presentation of the algorithm.
