RFC 3962: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Encryption for Kerberos 5

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 9141. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has chosen a new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is significantly faster and (it is believed) more secure than the old Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm. This document is a specification for the addition of this algorithm to the Kerberos cryptosystem suite. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
