AES: Advanced Encryption Standard - a Conceptual Review

AES has swept away old faithful DES, and is now the workhorse of business and government cryptography. Our entire civil order relies on its integrity. Here we explain how it works, and discover how a string of simple crypto primitives combine to such a robust cipher for which no mathematical compromise was ever published.

[@andreyyaskulsky5029]

Very nice, thanks very much. You really try to explain material for students using simple words while most of my professors just fall into narcissism trying to show their knowledge and cleverness

[@GideonTheTeacher]

When I was a student I suffered from the same problem. One adjunct professor came from the industry and was clear as day. That's why, as a matter of course, I add to my day job a weekly evening dedicated to face to face teaching.

[@GideonTheTeacher]

Thanks!

[@workhorseoeenanimal]

Allot of them do that shit, bunch of idiots, sometimes i think they just try make it more convoluted to make it harder for you. Bunch of assholes , haha. They not so smart when i start asking them questions tho , that's how you get those cunts.

[@danielherzig96]

I don't comment on videos, but you have done an amazing job with this one. The background sounds are relaxing as well. Thank you.

[@GideonTheTeacher]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@SomeshDKumar]

today I'm going to write midterm exam. I have missed the classes. my friend suggested that don't go through the DES, 3DES, AES algorithms that's eats time, but i decided to prepare this algorithms after seeing your videos. now i take a glance at William stallings book. thank you sir

[@jean-philippegmail7037]

Your video was the most complete and easy to undurstand I've seen in my searches about modern cryptography. I hope you'll continue videos like this.

[@johncollinson8382]

Excellent presentation. Nice touch having the rain forest back drop!

[@hokiepokie]

Thanks Gideon! Your explanation is much more clear for me than the book my university prescribed. (Security in computing)

[@nl11406]

That is a fine overview. I'm glad I discovered these series.

[@kikimitchell4108]

THIS IS AWESOME!!! ... I tried to figure that one out with my professor's slides at uni - not even close to how much I understood after watching this video ... ! Keep going please! ;)

[@everybodysfriend4789]

תודה רבה גדעון! הסרטונים על DES/AES מעניין ביותר, מוסבר בפשטות ובאופן ישיר. יישר כח על היוזמה האישית!

[@jonathanlind5725]

Great video! much better explanation than what I've heard so far:) Thank you for that!

[@santoshkumar-hy2sb]

I like the place and your interests of teaching way. This reminds me our when kids we were taught in this way which was awesome and joyfull.

[@tejpalsinghsiledar264]

Very beautifully explained!! Simple and elegant. Thank you very much Gideon.

[@meradabba]

This is extremely helpful. Thank you so much. A complex method explained in amazingly simple way.

[@justaitg]

Excellent explanation Professor, I'm working on a project were I require to encrypt files back and forth and needed to understand the basics of AES, this was an excellent lesson, thanks a lot!

[@GideonTheTeacher]

Good to hear from you Omar. When I was a student, most of my teachers were lousy, so I appreciated one professor who made it all so clear. When I thanked him, he told me: "Don't thank me, pass it on, teach the next generation" which is what I say to you.

[@justaitg]

Sure I will Professor, indeed, while doing it so, I have experienced a rewarding feeling which comes spontaneously, is the same feeling that comes right after giving a present to an special person.

[@dotalabi]

Thank you sir for imparting knowledge, this has definitely made things clearer & added to the repository of information required for my exams next week.

[@michael7659]

Just passed Network+, starting Security+. Great presentation. I intend to view more of your videos. Thank you.

[@carlosalarcon2737]

I like your lessons with nature..the combination of technology and nature is amazing !

[@TharinduWeerasinghe]

Really, the explanations are superb; lucid and palatable!! Thank you sir!

[@GideonTheTeacher]

Thanks, glad you like it. More to come!

[@rohitpatil7836]

thank u sir. understood the concept of AES very easily.The language u use is also very simple to understand. God bless.

[@cvlatino328]

I have been reading books and articles about AES, but it was really hard to understand (specially cause I am not a native English speaker). But after watching your video, I have a better understanding of AES. Thanks for your time on this Gideon. Well explained and really easy to understand.

[@jeromejoel5759]

Thanks alot @Gideon! Loved your explanation!!! Cheers!

[@samacumen]

Thanks Prof. Very well explained. Hope you are doing great.

[@atineshsingh3382]

Seen Couple videos on KZbin for AES and thats the one that I was looking for. Very nicely explained thanks Gideon Samid for this video.

[@RR-nq1jb]

Thank you so much. I have watched the first few minutes, but i decided to say thank you before continue watching, since I really like your teaching style.

[@PushpakDagade]

Thank you Sir for making this topic so easy to understand. I wish if everything else was made as simple. Also, I loved your idea of creating this video with nature in the backdrop. Amazing :-)

[@masoudamjadi9995]

This was really great, thank you Mr.Gideon, I learnt a lot.

Watch this in 2019, thank you, it's the best video which I found about AES explanation. Hello from Ukraine :)

[@GideonTheTeacher]

Good to hear a voice from the Ukraine -- you do need security!

[@shrikantkamble41]

hye Gideon ,this is so informative its real cleared of this AES Method once watch this video thank you so much.

[@MasticinaAkicta]

The amount of rounds reminds me of the enigma device. Multiple treatments lead to output that ought to be safe. Good explanations :)

[@CamiloSanchez1979]

What an amazing explanation, thank you Sir. Subscribed!

[@shreeyashrestha6777]

Hello Sir Thank you very much from the inner core of my heart. Your style is just awesome today in classroom i didn't get my teacher but i really got you. I am from small and beautiful country Nepal :) Nice to know you :)

[@GideonTheTeacher]

Thank you Shreeya, your words encourage me to do more. One day I may get to visit your beautiful country!

[@shreeyashrestha6777]

[@weetabixharry]

This is a superb explanation. Thank you so much.

[@spencerleno]

Thanks very much! Amazing depth of information.

[@AdityaKonarde]

I clapped along with the sound effects in the end. Best explanation ever :)

[@GideonTheTeacher]

I hear your clapping, thank you! Make good us of this knowledge!

[@rechitsapivo]

Thank you. Great explanation. As far as cracking the AES, I think it's not a matter of some formula/decryption algorithm, but rather a matter of sheer computer power. The inner workings of AES are not complex so there is nothing special about them and no particular formula would be useful. It's their quantity that just makes it a mountain of work to attack. I think the designers found that there is great way to protect data by making it near impossible/very impractical to attack AES with currently available hardware. Most communications are not worth building a supercomputer center just to decrypt a message. The system is also scalable for future technological developments. From what you explained, I conclude that when quantum computing becomes a reality, then AES can be adjusted to be a mountain of work even for those computers.

[@meyou5409]

Amazingly good explanation! Thanks from Albania!

[@GideonTheTeacher]

+Me You Thank you Albanial. You keep me motivated!

[@trisnguyen4625]

simple to understand,,,best place to study from a mentor :)...Thank you for your work

[@GideonTheTeacher]

thanks!

[@GideonTheTeacher]

Thank you Tri for your comment, reminds me that it is worthwhile.

[@jigishparikh1968]

Dear Prof, Great video. Thanks for uploading. @10:30, are you suggesting that substitution happens among those 16 bytes only. Meaning they swap positions among themselves? You mentioned Byte 2 replaced by Byte 147, but we only have 16 bytes to work with right? Please explain.

[@Akashsrivastav08]

What he is saying is that since 1 byte is of 8 bits, there are 256 total combinations of those 8 bits to form individual(unique) packs of bytes. So from the 256 possible combinations, some specific ones are chosen to replace the respective byte.

[@MustafaQamarudDin]

I am glad he mentioned Quantum Computers at the End, Very Well Done ;)

[@GideonTheTeacher]

Thanks, check my latest lesson on Turing machine and computability.

[@MustafaQamarudDin]

Thank you, very well explained

[@andrewsvega2023]

Thank you, thank you, thank you professor. I want to keep on learning from you. Do you have any other video where you can provide more information about the sub-key generator? Best Regards.

[@aijazahmedece]

Thank you.

[@RowanSheridan]

Thanks for the explanation. Is it a case of doing everything the opposite way for decryption?

[@pranshudhankar2534]

Thank you so much for such a nice explanation Prof ............. can you also explain how the subkeys are generated ?

[@abdessalemabidi9117]

Thanks sir@gideon for this video I want to know how the AEs algorithm works with CBC mode of operation

[@qwerty-mz8is]

super informative :)

[@feeltheblissinhari]

Fantastic Sir! Awesome! Could you please tell more about the 2^8 bytes that you mentioned while explaining 128 bits of key size. I couldn't catch it really well. Thanks a lot! An awesome explanation!

[@tandonneeraj]

rsh It is for byte by byte substitution. Each byte has 8 bits so 2^8 combination. Much smaller than 2^32 for the final Substitution block.
