The reading today was pretty enjoyable and interesting. AES seems like a pretty cool and complicated system.
I did get a little bogged down in some of the details. But, I was glad that I had a good understanding of the G(2^8) stuff or that would have thrown me. I am starting to feel, as the systems become more complex, that I am losing the ability to see what makes one stronger than another one. Both AES and DES just had a lot of steps and I never really got the whole picture of why all of those steps were a good thing (like how they helped to strengthen the encryption).
