AES has proven to be more secure andefficient than its encryption predecessors. Among AES algorithms,Rijndael has proven to be an extremely fast, state-of-the art, easyto implement, and highly secure ...

The AES algorithm is a fixed-width encryption algorithm. Therefore, the input message is first padded to make sure that it will completely fit in “n” number of 128-bit blocks.

This article will focus on applying AES encryption and hash authorization functions to the MQTT protocol using the popular ESP8266 chip running NodeMCU firmware.

So, in 2001, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) was finalized and published. AES is designed to use much bigger keys - 128, 192 or 256 bits in size - making brute force attacks much, much harder.

ASC X9 has released a new standard, X9.24-3, that allows the use of the AES DUKPT algorithm to enhance security in retail financial transactions.
