/*----- Notes on the Rijndael block cipher --------------------------------*
*
- * Invented by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, Rijndael is a fast and
- * relatively simple 128-bit block cipher proposed by the designers as an AES
- * candidate. At the time of writing, the AES winner hasn't been decided.
- * Rijnadel is fast, but has a low security margin. I recommend waiting
