Rijndael: The block cipher algorithm that was chosen by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to be the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Rijndael was selected due to its robust security, computational efficiency, flexibility, and ease of implementation across a wide range of platforms. It supports a variety of block and key sizes and is widely used worldwide for encryption in various applications and protocols to ensure the confidentiality of data.
