NIST couldn't consider it for an AES candidate because it hadn't been invented yet. A brief timeline: 1997: NIST begins the AES selection process 1998: Rijndael is published 2000: Camellia is published too late to be considered for AES 2000: NESSIE begins evaluating new algorithms 2000: CRYPTREC begins evaluating new algorithms 2001: Rijndael is selected to become the Advanced Encryption Standard 2003: CRYPTREC and NESSIE each select Camellia _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
