In February 1999 I wrote a magazine article entitled, “Free Lunch” that focused on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) selection process and the need to avoid proprietary cryptographic algorithms.

In the last section we discussed the potential for optimizing algorithms, which can be done, but sometimes may not result in the type of performance required. As was mentioned, you can always move the ...
