• Our "raison d'etre":

Following the AES candidate algorithm presentations and relevant comments, it became obvious that some candidates are more likely to succeed than others (no pun intended).
Our purpose is to quantify that difference.
This site is also intended to serve as the "heart monitor" of the cryptanalytic advancements in the AES challenge -- in short, the place to check for up to date information.
• Our services:

This site will
- accept and tally opinions on which candidate ciphers will be selected for the second AES round, and
- provide personal opinions on some of the ciphers.

This site is made possible by Yiannis Tsiounis.

I would like to thank Bruce Schneier and Jacques Stern for proposing the idea.
