Synopsis

public abstract class Rijndael : SymmetricAlgorithm {
// Public Constructors
   public Rijndael(  );
// Public Static Methods
   public static Rijndael Create(  );
   public static Rijndael Create(string algName);
}

This class extends SymmetricAlgorithm and is the abstract representation of the Rijndael algorithm. Individual implementations of Rijndael will extend this class. The .NET Framework class library includes the Rijndael class, which is the default implementation.

The Rijndael algorithm is also known as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
