We are proud to announce that Prof. Vincent Rijmen (COSIC, KU Leuven) and Prof. Joan Daemen (Radboud University) have received the BBVA Frontiers of Knowledge Award for designing the #Rijndael algorithm (#AES), which secures billions of devices worldwide, from websites to mobile phones and cloud services.

We’re incredibly proud of Prof. Vincent Rijmen, whose pioneering work with Joan Daemen led to #Rijndael, now honoured with an #IEEE Milestone as the foundation of the global #AES standard. A landmark moment for KU Leuven and for secure communication worldwide.
Honouring a milestone in cryptography: #IEEE has awarded a Milestone to the #AES standard, originally designed as #Rijndael by KU Leuven’s Vincent Rijmen and Joan Daemen. Their work continues to secure everything from smartphones to critical infrastructure worldwide.

Making steps into the right direction with my Rijndael cipher script. Almost done now with the key expansion and the so called g-function. Last step is implementation of the round constants.
When that is done I 'only' have to put all the stuff in a proper loop. If that works I will be happy, but the journey will not end there. A lot of testing and see how to decrypt...

Finally found my way through the Galois Fields.
The mix-colums part of the Rijndael key scheduler is done now.
Next up: generating round keys.

In my 'baes' :) project I am struggling with Galois Fields and get field-exceeding values properly calculated.

I am home now and suddenly it struck me that probably the solution can be (note-to-self):

After multiplication with the irreducible polynomial, use a mask and a bitwise AND to keep only the lower 7 bits of the final result value.

I.e.:
value=0xA3F
mask=0x7F
result=$(( value & mask ))
So then the result will become: 0b00111111

Hopefully this will work...
