C++ code implementing the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher as specified in the FIPS Publication 197 by the NIST.

This code implements the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher as described in the original FIPS Publication 197 by the NIST. Hence, only the bare block cipher is implemented. This might then be combined with one of the many block modes of operation to obtain a stream cipher.

Note: This implementation comes with no warranty and should not be used in mission critical scenarios.

make

The compiled executable can then be found the directory bin/.
