Algebraic Aspects of the Advanced Encryption Standard

by Carlos Cid, Sean Murphy, Matthew Robshaw

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the successor to the Data Encryption Standard, and is potentially the world’s most important block cipher (a method for encrypting text). While existing analytical techniques for block ciphers have used a statistical approach, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the application of algebraic techniques to the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). These techniques may have a dramatic effect on the security of the AES.

Very advanced stuff. OK for dipping into, I guess, but not really for reading straight through for fun.
