The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric-key encryption algorithm established by NIST in 2001 as a U.S. government standard for securing sensitive data. It is used worldwide in applications ranging from file encryption and VPNs to secure web traffic (TLS) and is available in 128, 192, and 256-bit key lengths. Security professionals and software engineers rely on AES as a foundational building block for data protection.
