Fowarded by: Dave Wreski <dave () guardiandigital com> In this interview Vincent Rijmen talks about the development of the Rijndael algorithm, his selection as the NIST algorithm of choice for AES, thoughts on Linux and security, and the future of Internet security. "Rijndael takes its name from its creators' last names, and beat out finalists including those from IBM, RSA, Counterpane, and the Serpent algorithm developed by a group of European cryptographers. AES will soon replace DES as the standard algorithm for encrypting sensitive data. It has been reported that even a machine capable of breaking the old DES standard in a second would take some 149 trillion years to crack the proposed AES's lowest level of security." http://www.linuxsecurity.com/feature_stories/interview-aes.html -- Dave Wreski Corporate Manager Guardian Digital, Inc.
