Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

From <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.aes(v=vs.110).aspx>

• Symmetric Key. AES, Triple-DES, Escrowed Encryption Standard.
• Asymmetric Key. DSA, RSA, ECDSA.
• Hash Standards. SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256.
• Random number generators. See annex c.
• Message authentication. CCM, GCM, GMAC, CMAC, HMAC.
