AES Encryption uses which cipher?

• Serpent
• Rijndael
• Twofish
• RC6 

 

EXPLANATION

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a NIST standard for encryption using the Rijndael cipher. The cipher selected for AES was determined through an open call for new algorithms in 1997. The finalists for selection were Rijndael, Serpent, Twofish, RC6, and MARS, with Rijndael being the winning algorithm.
