  ISAR - Inventory of the American Eugenics Society Papers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The AES ran conferences and seminars on eugenics, distributed a wide variety of pamphlets, sponsored exhibitions at county fairs and ran contests for the best essays and sermons on eugenics.
Between 1964 and 1969 the AES sponsored five conferences at Princeton University on "Population Genetics and Demography." At these conferences scientists from all over the country were brought together to discuss the relationship between population control and genetics.
The AES was forced to moderate its public position in the '30s due to changing political and social exigencies (public opposition, the growing friction between the U.S. and Germany, and the opposition of reputable scientists).

 Advanced Encryption Standard process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the block cipher ratified as a standard by National Institute of Standards and Technology of the United States (NIST), was chosen using a process markedly more open and transparent than its predecessor, the aging Data Encryption Standard (DES).
On October 2, 2000, NIST announced [4] that Rijndael had been selected as the proposed AES and started the process of making it the official standard by publishing an announcement in the Federal Register [5] on February 28, 2001 for the draft FIPS to solicit comments.
On November 26, 2001, NIST announced that AES was approved as FIPS PUB 197.

 American Eugenics Society Records , American Philosophical Society
Of particular interest are the records of the Society's numerous committees, including the Executive Education, Population Genetics Research, Legislative, and local and state committees, and documentation of AES educational initiatives at state fairs and eugenic health exhibits and contests, especially the Fitter Family Contests.
From its base in New Haven, Connecticut, the AES soon attracted the support of nearly every major American eugenicist and for the first decade of its existence, at least, was very successful at promoting eugenic ideas to the American public.
Among its most popular promotions were a contest for the best sermon on eugenic theme and a series of "fitter family contests" in which participants' families (divided into small, medium, and large family classes) were ranked based on information provided on the mental, physical, and moral health of family members.

 Nicholas Allen's Indigo Blog : Advanced Encryption Standard
AES is a 128-bit block cipher with a variable length key from 128 to 256 bits.
AES has a key expansion stage and rounds that consist of four operations on a matrix of state bytes.
If AES is run on a general-purpose processor and another process can force you to encrypt text with your secret key, then that process can extract the encryption key in a surprisingly short amount of time.

 AES: Cryptography advances into the future - Java World
It was apparent that with the availability of cheaper and faster hardware, DES would be rendered untenable in a few years.
To address this problem, the NIST issued a Request For Comment (RFC) in 1997 for a standard -- to be called AES, or the Advanced Encryption Standard -- to replace DES.
To be a successful replacement to DES, the AES algorithm design would need to satisfy a number of criteria: strong security, simple design, good performance, and so on.

 What are the crypto algorithm Top Ten? - Wilders Security Forums
For starters AES is an algorithm because it is a standard and the standard is now Rijndael, so it is acceptable to saw AES is an algorithm.
Second Serpant was a AES finalist, it uses 128 bit blocks and is considered the more securer of the finalists, blowfish is bad for very large files (read 300 gigabytes) IDEA, Cast and DES have all been cracked, 3DES is barely secure, it is unadvisable for long term use, and MARS is not really tested.
AES was selected from this time forward into the future - with the emphasis being on the future.

The contestants are complex mathematical formulas, or algorithms, that, along with a secret variable called a key, seek to scramble, or encrypt, information so that it can only be unscrambled, or decrypted, by someone with the same formula and key.
Schneier likened the AES competition to "a big demolition derby." The algorithms are made public.
Zunic said the AES contest is bringing needed recognition to the artists working in a traditionally shadowy field.

 US give AES the official yes | The Register
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) has at long last received the official stamp of approval which allows it to be used by the US Federal Government.
AES represents the fruits of a four-year project by cryptographers to develop a next generation encryption standard, and is expected to replace the Data Encryption Standard algorithm which was introduced in 1977..
Products implementing AES are expected to come to market shortly in the private and public sectors, protecting financial transactions and other sensitive data contained on everything from supercomputers to smartcards.

 Trustworthy contacts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
To restate the perhaps obvious, crypto trustworthiness for government use does not gurarantee it is trustworthy for private use, although the two are at times conflated, at least by those who trust governments to do the right thing in protecting private matters.
AES in some places is advanced as a solution to this dilemma, and it would be swell to have the inventors of the candidate algorithms to state in public how they see the public trustworthiness prospects for their work now that intrusive surveillance and interception programs have burgeoned worldwide since the AES contest began.
And it would be valuable for the other AES contenders, and perhaps their cryptologic peers, to openly declare what they think of AES.

Note: For further background on AES and a report from the third AES conference, held in April 2000, see Raghavan N. Srinivas's "AES: Cryptography advances into the future" (JavaWorld, April 2000).
The cryptographic landscape had changed since the days of DES; the new standard needed to be small, hard to crack, fast, and suitable for small devices.
These tough and sometimes conflicting requirements, as well as the perception that the government had botched the original DES development process, led to a common belief that the AES process was doomed under the NIST's direction.

 Crypto contest seeks new standard | CNET News.com
The competition is to select a replacement for the Data Encryption Standard (DES) that is now widely used by the federal government and others to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data.
Because DES is more than 20 years old, the Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES) is designed as a replacement, although both algorithms are likely to be used during a transition period.
In addition, the AES competition also is open to universities, and several have strong crypto research programs:

 Introduction
The AES algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that is able to encrypt (encipher) and decrypt (decipher) electronic data.
The AES algorithm is capable of using cryptographic keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data blocks of 128 bits.
Although many implementations of Rijndael have been brought into the literature, since this algorithm has won the AES contest, none of these implementations so far used a public-key crypto-coprocessor.

 Design of the Ocotillo PRNG
MD5 was chosen as the entropy stirring algorithm due to the fact that its 128-bit output matches the 128-bit block size and encryption key size of the AES candidate chosen.
That is, when the current value is desired, they are copied to a new MD5 context, the current value extracted from that context, while the original context is retained to put future values into.
The AES candidate is operating in block encryption mode.

Schneier et al argue that while their key setup requirements might fit into a 256-byte CPU, so little memory would be left (no more than 61 bytes) that no practical application could use them.
They do look very impressive on high-end processors, and I hope the inventors decide to release the patents so we can use them on such applications, but the AES winner has to be flexible enough to run in a wider variety of environments.
However, I agree with the previous poster that Twofish is the most likely contest winner - it's the best performer on 32-bit processors, very competitive everywhere else, and offers a wide variety of useful implementation tradeoffs.

 AES and Patent Rights
It is possible that one (or more) of the AES submissions infringes on some patent (or some pending patent) held by some third party, and that third party will not say anything until it is too late.
If that was what AES was about, discrimination of the type you note would be unfair, since the patented status of an algorithm is irrelevant to its merit.
The free publicity is an incidental consequence of the AES process meeting a goal of the U.S. government, it is not the purpose of the thing from their point of view, however important it may be to the entrants.
