      Um einen vorläufigen FIPS für DES-Nachfolger AES zu  
erstellen, ersucht das NIST um einschlägige Kommentare  
zum Rijndael Algorithmus. Alles Für alle, denen noch etwas  
nicht klar genug sein sollte, etwas weiter unten werden FIPS  
und die anderen Akronymichen recht ordentlich entschlüsselt.

On February 28, the National Institute of Standards and  
Technology (NIST) announced that it is seeking comments  
on a draft Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for  
the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).  NIST earlier  
selected the algorithm, known as Rijndael, for the AES in  
October 2000 (see EPIC Alert 7.18).  The draft FIPS explains  
this selection in detail and specifies technology that can be  
used to protect confidential electronic information. 
 
AES will replace the Data Encryption Standard (DES),  
adopted by the federal government as the official encryption  
standard since 1977. The weakness of the DES, which relied  
on 56-bit encryption keys, was clearly demonstrated by a  
series of DES Cracker Projects sponsored by RSA  
Laboratories in 1997, 1998 and 1999. 
 
Comments from the public on the security of AES must be  
received on or before May 29.  They will be analyzed by NIST  
and incorporated, as appropriate, into the draft FIPS before  
being sent to the Secretary of Commerce for formal approval.
