hmm
I had read (and, of course, we should be skeptical of what we read) indicates that the National Security Agency reviewed a number of AES 256 cyphers, and chose the Rijndeal cypher as the best -- and therefore, set it as THEIR standard.
So at least when the process began early this decade, it seems that no all AES 256 cyphers were the same.
I gather from your comment, that the losing candidates just disappeared. Right? A bit surprising, I must confess. But certainly possible.
If not -- if there are still some cypher want-to-be's -- , does PA use the Rijndeal 256 cypher in all functions, PAE, and, when selected, for ZIP and 7 ZIP?
