AES, Advanced Encryption Standard

Description Glossary RFCs Publications Obsolete RFCs

Description:

Type:Symmetric block cipher algorithm.
Block size:128 bits.
Key sizes:128, 192 and 256 bits.
Default rounds:12 for a 192 bit keysize, 14 for a 256 bit keysize.
SNMP MIBs: iso.org.dod.internet.snmpv2.snmpModules.snmpUsmAesMIB (1.3.6.1.6.3.20).
