 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.
