Abstract
The use of cryptography, both the encryption and decryption of data is one response to the concerns of securing data files. The Rijndael cipher block, which has been adopted by the National Institute of Standards and technology as the advanced encryption standard, has been used in this study to encrypt and decrypt data. This has been accomplished by encrypting a plain text file and creating an encrypted file in one program, and decrypting the encrypted file back to a plain text file in another program. Both the encryption and decryption programs utilize the same secret key. If the key is lost decryption is not possible, and if the key is discovered the security of the data is compromised. Despite the risk, cryptography using the Rijndael cipher block adds considerable security to otherwise unsecured data.
