NIST doesn't provide specific KAT vectors for AES-CTR because the
results depend on your specific counter construction.
When you interact with a FIPS test lab, you will provide them with your
counter construction, they will provide you with the KATs and you will
then test to those KATs.

Compared to AES-128, AES-256 is 140% of the rounds to encrypt 200% as
much data. So when implemented in hardware, AES-256 is substantially faster.
AES-256 - 18.26 bits per round
AES-128 - 12.8 bits per round

I don't know if you have seen this, but ISO rejected the WAPI standard
proposal, opting instead for 802.11i/WPA2.

How terrible, AES instead of the secret sauce-cipher. ,-)
