document: The Advanced Encryption Standard - implementation and transition to a new cryptographic benchmark Cryptography is the science of coding information to create unintelligible ciphers that conceal or hide messages . The process that achieves this goal is commonly referred to as encryption . Although encryption processes of various forms have been employed for centuries to protect the exchange of messages , the advent of the information age has underscored the importance of strong cryptography as a process to secure data exchanged through electronic means , and has accentuated the demand for products offering these services . This article describes the process that has led to the development of the latest cryptographic benchmark ; the Advanced Encryption Standard -LRB- AES -RRB- . The article briefly examines the requirements set forth for its development , defines how the new standard is implemented , and describes how government , business , and industry can transition to AES with minimum impact to operations
