Which 128-bit block cipher encryption algorithm does the US government use to protect classified information?
A
Skipjack
B
Vignere
C
Caesar
D
AES
E
3DES
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric block cipher chosen by the U.S. government to protect classified information. AES is implemented in software and hardware throughout the world to encrypt sensitive data. It is essential for government computer security, cybersecurity and electronic data protection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rijndael is an iterated block cipher, meaning that it encrypts and decrypts a block of data by the iteration or round of a specific transformation. It supports encryption key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits and handles data in 128-bit blocks.

Detailed explanation-3: -LEA is a block cipher with 128-bit block. Key size is 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit.

Detailed explanation-4: -What Is AES-256 Encryption? The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric block cipher that the U.S. government selects to protect classified data. AES-256 encryption uses the 256-bit key length to encrypt as well as decrypt a block of messages.
