+<!-- ==================== MODULE DESCRIPTION ==================== -->
+<h1 class="epydoc">Module AES</h1><p class="nomargin-top"></p>
+<p>AES symmetric cipher</p>
+<p>AES <a class="rst-reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard" target="_top">(Advanced Encryption Standard)</a> is a symmetric block cipher standardized
+by <a class="rst-reference external" href="http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips197/fips-197.pdf" target="_top">NIST</a> . It has a fixed data block size of 16 bytes.
+Its keys can be 128, 192, or 256 bits long.</p>
+<p>AES is very fast and secure, and it is the de facto standard for symmetric
+encryption.</p>
+<p>As an example, encryption can be done as follows:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<pre class="py-doctest">
+<span class="py-prompt">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="py-keyword">from</span> Crypto.Cipher <span class="py-keyword">import</span> AES
+<span class="py-prompt">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="py-keyword">from</span> Crypto <span class="py-keyword">import</span> Random
+<span class="py-prompt">&gt;&gt;&gt;</span>
+<span class="py-prompt">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span>key = b<span class="py-string">'Sixteen byte key'</span>
+<span class="py-prompt">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span>iv = Random.new().read(AES.block_size)
+<span class="py-prompt">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span>cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CFB, iv)
+<span class="py-prompt">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span>msg = iv + cipher.encrypt(b<span class="py-string">'Attack at dawn'</span>)</pre>
