• AES competition [r]: A competition run by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology to chose a block cipher to become the Advanced Encryption Standard. ^[e]
• Advanced Encryption Standard [r]: A US government standard issued in 2002 for a stronger block cipher to succeed the earlier Data Encryption Standard. ^[e]
• Advanced Encryption System [r]: An encryption system, selected by the U.S. government after a public review process, that is a stronger replacement for the Data Encryption Standard ^[e]
• Block cipher [r]: A symmetric cipher that operates on fixed-size blocks of plaintext, giving a block of ciphertext for each ^[e]
• Brute force attack [r]: An attempt to break a cipher by trying all possible keys; long enough keys make this impractical. ^[e]
• Cipher [r]: A means of combining plaintext (of letters or numbers, or bits), using an algorithm that mathematically manipulates the individual elements of plaintext, into ciphertext, a form unintelligible to any recipient that does not know both the algorithm and a randomizing factor called a cryptographic key ^[e]
• Cryptography controversy [r]: The "crypto wars", political controversies and legal cases involving the use of cryptography. ^[e]
• Cryptography [r]: A field at the intersection of mathematics and computer science that is concerned with the security of information, typically the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of some message. ^[e]
• Cryptology [r]: The theory and practice of protecting the content of communications, and of defeating the protective measures ^[e]
• DEAL (cipher) [r]: A block cipher derived from the Data Encryption Standard (DES), from a design proposed in a report by Lars Knudsen in 1998. ^[e]
• DES (disambiguation) [r]: Add brief definition or description
• GOST cipher [r]: A Soviet and Russian government standard symmetric key block cipher; also based on this block cipher is the GOST hash function. ^[e]
• Hash (cryptography) [r]: An algorithm that produces a fixed-size digest from an input of essentially arbitrary size. ^[e]
• History of cryptography [r]: The development, since antiquity, of means of concealing communications from other than the intended recipient ^[e]
• Intelligence cycle management [r]: Add brief definition or description
• LOKI (cipher) [r]: Block ciphers (LOKI89 and LOKI91) designed as possible replacements for the Data Encryption Standard (DES). ^[e]
• National Security Agency [r]: An organization within the United States Department of Defense, with the dual roles of the principal signals intelligence agency in the United States intelligence community , but also having the responsibility for information assurance of military, diplomatic, and other critical communications. ^[e]
• Signals intelligence from 1990 to the present [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Symmetric key cryptography [r]: A cryptographic system in which there is only one key; the same secret key is used for encryption and decryption. ^[e]
• Triple DES [r]: The common name for the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA) block cipher, named because it applies the Data Encryption Standard (DES) cipher algorithm three times to each data block. ^[e]
• United States intelligence community [r]: Add brief definition or description
