AES is an encryption standard adopted by the U.S. government. AESNI is a set of new instructions implemented in the new Intel® 32 nm architecture. It is a set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions that consolidate mathematical operations used in the AES algorithm and speeds up the encryption and decryption process by moving some processes to hardware.
