AES ENCRYPTION MY NOTES

[Zak503]

Is it possible to have AES for civilians with the decryption keys that the government and the military version of AES have? Because I don't believe that the government would give ordinary citizens military cryptography.And why can't I find Russian cryptography on Western routers? AES only. I don't trust the USA even though I live in Central Europe (Poland).I wonder if my encrypted information is being read by armaments, pharmaceutical and food companies.The Aes program's GUI lacks the ability to preview the password (crossed out eye), it would be useful

AES is an algorithm adopted by the US government through public review and study by people worldwide. Further, the algorithm was defined by Belgian cryptographers.

Enabling a password preview might be useful, though it might also create an opportunity for eavesdroppers to see what you're typing. Nonetheless, we can add that to the "wish list".

If I were the government, I would care more about what the citizen encrypts than what he gives me in the form officially in the office. I know from history that no government can be trusted, whether right-wing or left-wing, and I do not believe that a citizen who has a smartphone or a computer does not have some extras from the services, paper will accept everything, both truth and lies. If cryptography was reviewed by Russian mathematicians, I wouldn't be worried. In my opinion, they are better than the American ones. Yes, reviewing encryption programs, only VeraCrypt offers Russian cryptography, Belgium is probably a NATO ally, it approved it so as not to get hit by sanctions from the USA. If AES is so good, why do the Russians have their own cryptography and don't touch AES, they must have detected something, just like Kaspersky used to do with US government codes in software. I'm wondering why I don't see Serpent and Twofish, why with such a power of processors you can't choose your own encryption method only AES. Disk Chaging in Serpent,Twofish, Kuznyechik and AES offers Russian diskcryptor and veracrypt. Do you know who tests best? -Enemy. I'm wondering why a citizen who has an illusory influence on the government of a given country, e.g. the Linux Foundation, gets the government of a given country – Russian citizens who really have nothing to say in their country were expelled. If Linus Torwalds knew the specification of a given country, he would act differently, but it is better to kick ordinary people. And anyway, the USA is going in this direction, when I see the history of my country in the wrong direction, I will say in short: May Almighty God in the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, Holy Spirit take care of you, USA. You are in cryptography, so take care of yourselves and your families, people like you have VIP status in the pentagon services, in case of suspicion you may have problems, suddenly disappear, or an accident.

AES has undergone wide public review. People all over the world have studied it and tried to find a weakness.

There's nothing political about it. It was created out of academic research and studied for years. As a part of the review process (which was open to the world), people submitting several competing proposals. Researchers voted for AES.

I'm sure the military in any country has other cryptography just for the sake of keeping it secret.

Anyway, I don't personally put a lot of faith in any government, either. Fortunately, AES and other cryptography algorithms are almost always products of private or academic researchers.
