From <a href="http://www8.zdnet.com/eweek/stories/general/0,11011,2638138,00.html">ZDNET</a>: <i>The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced last week that Rijndael, an algorithm developed by Belgian scientists, won its contest to find a highly secure encryption technology for the future. NIST will now propose the Rijndael (pronounced RHINE-doll) specification as a government standard.

But Rijndael was also chosen for its portability -- it takes only bytes of RAM and doesn't suffer significant performance degradation in limited memory environments, officials said. In short, it appears tailor-made for the exploding handheld and wireless computing markets.
