Hello. I am interested in the subject, because
I believe that both CAST-256 and Rijndael support
128 bit Plaintext/Ciphertext I/O, and
because CAST was already incorporated into PGP 5.0+.
I am on "the learning curve" and I apprecciate your
assistance. Is there a "real development" effort
being done to incorporate Rijndael into PGP?
Let me know, please. It's a project I may want
to work on locally, in New Jersey, USA.
Best regards.
Joe Tag,Jr.

Yes, RFC 2440 already has specification in it for the AES, which is
the
same thing as Rijndael.
At the moment, AES and Rijndael are different things. Of course, it's
unlikely that AES will become an entirely different algorithm, but
AFAIK, the official AES specification has not yet been released (so
changes in detail are still possible).
