The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) was designed by
Answer: A
The key's answer is the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
AES was produced by NIST, the US standards body, which ran an open international competition from 1997, chose the winning cipher in 2000 and published it as the Advanced Encryption Standard (FIPS 197) in 2001. The cipher itself, Rijndael, was devised by the Belgian cryptographers Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, who are not among the options; the key credits the standard to the body that defined it.
IBM designed the earlier DES cipher, not AES, and HP and Intel had no part in it.
