An authoritative and comprehensive guide to the Rijndael algorithm and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is expected to gradually replace the present Data Encryption Standard (DES) as the most widely applied data encryption technology. This book, written by the designers of the block cipher, presents Rijndael from scratch. The underlying mathematics and the wide trail strategy as the basic design idea are explained in detail and the basics of differential and linear cryptanalysis are reworked. Subsequent chapters review all known attacks against the Rijndael structure and deal with implementation and optimization issues. Finally, other ciphers related to Rijndael are presented.

Product Description
Review
"…an excellent choice for people who are interested in how Rijndael really works and who need more explanations than research papers usually contain. It is a book that readers will regularly consult when they need to look up details about Rijndael." –Computing Reviews
From the Back Cover
In October 2000, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology selected the block cipher Rijndael as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is expected to gradually replace the present Data Encryption Standard (DES) as the most widely applied data encryption technology. This book by the designers of the block cipher presents Rijndael from scratch. The underlying mathematics and the wide trail strategy as the basic design idea are explained in detail and the basics of differential and linear cryptanalysis are reworked. Subsequent chapters review all known attacks against the Rijndael structure and deal with implementation and optimization issues. Finally, other ciphers related to Rijndael are presented. This volume is THE authoritative guide to the Rijndael algorithm and AES. Professionals, researchers, and students active or interested in data encryption will find it a valuable source of information and reference.

Definitive guide on Rijndael
Feb 18 2013
By Ben Rothke
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
While it was printed about 11 years ago, I just got around to reading The Design of Rijndael: AES - The Advanced Encryption Standard. Appropois given that the RSA conference is next week.
Many information security titles over a decade old are obsolete (such as those on Windows NT and OS/2 security), but the Rijndael algorithm which became the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is still very much relevant.
Written by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, creators of Rijndael; the book presents a unique perspective.
The book is about the design and architecture of the algorithm. The authors note that the book was written for two kinds of readers. The largest group of readers will be those who want to read a full and unambiguous decryption of Rijndael. A large part of the book is aimed at the reader who wants to know why the authors created Rijndael and the way in which they did it.
The book is written for those that have a strong background with the mathematics of cryptography. Understanding the mathematics is not necessary for a full and correct understanding of Rijndael, but it is necessary for a good understanding of their design motivations.
For those that want a first-hand understanding of Rijndael, The Design of Rijndael: AES - The Advanced Encryption Standard is the book.

Required if you do anything w/ AES

By Eric Kent

Format:Hardcover
This book is great, straight from the designers of Rijndael.
you could not find a better book in the subject.
my only gripe is the price, a bit on the high end.
