13 unusual facts about Advanced Encryption Standard


Adaptive Internet Protocol

256-bit encryption, using the AES encryption algorithm (this is the default security; older clients may use encryption of lesser strength.)

BackupHDDVD

The utility circumvents content protection by decrypting video files directly with AES, the underling cryptographic cipher used by AACS.

CIPURSE

It employs existing, proven open standards, including the ISO/IEC 7816 smart card standard, as well as the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard and the ISO/IEC 14443 protocol layer.

Hifn

They announced a security processor featuring the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm in 2001.

LiteManager

When encrypting traffic between local and remote PCs, LiteManager employs existing security algorithms and standards: 2048-bit RSA and 256-bit AES keys.

Microsoft Excel

The situation changed fundamentally in Excel 2007, where the modern AES algorithm with a key of 128 bits started being used for decryption, and a 50,000-fold use of the hash function SHA1 reduced the speed of brute-force attacks down to hundreds of passwords per second.

Raima Database Manager

RDM's encryption supports the Rijndael/AES encryption algorithm with 128, 192 or 256 bit keys based on an application-specified encryption key.

Remote Utilities

When encrypting traffic between local and remote PCs, Remote Utilities employs existing security algorithms and standards: 2048-bit RSA and 256-bit AES keys.

SCADA

-- citations as support of the statements are fine --> In electric and gas utility SCADA systems, the vulnerability of the large installed base of wired and wireless serial communications links is addressed in some cases by applying bump-in-the-wire devices that employ authentication and Advanced Encryption Standard encryption rather than replacing all existing nodes.

ScreenConnect

ScreenConnect uses 256-bit AES encryption to package and ship data, supports two factor authentication, has server level video auditing, and granular role-based security.

Smart Lock

Smart locks may use Bluetooth SMART and SSL to communicate, encrypting communications using 128/256-bit AES.

Sonos

Multiple elements in a single household will connect to each other on a proprietary peer-to-peer synchronous mesh network using AES encryption.

TeamViewer

TeamViewer uses RSA private/public key exchange (2048-bit) and AES (256-bit) session encryption.


CyaSSL

CTaoCrypt Provides RSA, DSS, Diffie–Hellman, EDH, NTRU, DES, Triple DES, AES (CBC, CTR, CCM, GCM), Camellia, ARC4, HC-128, MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, BLAKE2, RIPEMD-160, Random Number Generation, Large Integer support, and base 16/64 encoding/decoding.

High-capacity data radio

There is also an export version that incorporates Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption rather than UK Government Type 1 Crypto.

Key size

Mainstream symmetric ciphers (such as AES or Twofish) and collision resistant hash functions (such as SHA) are widely conjectured to offer greater security against known quantum computing attacks.
