Rijndael encryption algorithm

Rijndael is a symmetric-key block cipher, designed by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen. After a competition Rijndael was selected as the successor to DES and became the Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES. See AES for more details.

The name "Rijndael" can only properly be pronounced by people who speak Dutch. The best English approximation is "Rine dahl" with a long "i" and a silent "e".
