This article is nowhere near complete, but I'm almost the only author so far and it is about as far as I can take it. It needs various things added that either I do understand well enough to tackle or am not much interested in, often both. Anyone care to improve it? Sandy Harris 06:14, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Also, since there have been 64 proposals submitted, the AHS section is likely to get very long. Having the Block cipher#The AES generation section in that article makes sense; those ciphers are actually in service. AHS is not; target date for the standard is 2012. I started the analogous section here, but now think it should move to its own article. Other opinions? Sandy Harris 11:25, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
