Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The maximum key size is 256 bits, not 512 bits.
Rijndael is a block symmetric cipher that was chosen to fulfill the Advanced Encryption Standard. It uses a
128-bit block size and various key lengths (128, 192, 256).
The Rijndael specification is specified with block and key sizes that may be any multiple of 32 bits, both with a minimum of 128 and a maximum of 256 bits.
Incorrect Answers:
A: It is true that the key sizes must be a multiple of 32 bits.
B: It is true that the maximum block size is 256 bits.
D: It is true that the key size does not have to match the block size.
