I do not intend to update the bottom one (AES-Rijndael).
I made it available to be used as is (it is a port from other languages).
Furthermore, it only provides the basic (ECB = Electronic Code Book)
mode of operation (that is what I needed at the time). For practical
(true security) appilications you would need to put more secure modes
on top of ECB, e.g. to encrypt files consisting of multiple blocks.
See www.nist.gov for some good pointers (through their cryptographic
toolkit).
