AES for GnuPG, on Mon Oct 2?

Sep 30, 2000, 8:36 PM

Post #1 of 4 (461 views)

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will
announce the winner of the Advanced Encryption Standard competition on
Oct. 2 at 11:00 am EST.

When will GPG incorporate the AES? I see in the OpenPGP that there are
slots reserved for the AES. What would be cool is if someone has
written "AES modules" for all 4 of the finalists, so that there can be
a GnuPG 1.0.4 release on Monday at 11:01 am EST.

I didn't follow the AES debate lately, but is Twofish still in the race? If
so, would that mean that the current code of Twofish needs to change, or 2
codes would be assigned for Twofish, or is the AES implementation different
from the GnuPG implementation?

There is only one Twofish.

WK> There is only one Twofish.

It's pretty much a moot point, since Rijndael is the new AES.
