194 Rijndael appears to be consistently a very good performer in
195 both hardware and software across a wide range of computing
196 environments regardless of its use in feedback or non-feedback
197 modes. Its key setup time is excellent, and its key agility is
198 good. Rijndael's very low memory requirements make it very well
199 suited for restricted-space environments, in which it also
200 demonstrates excellent performance. Rijndael's operations are
201 among the easiest to defend against power and timing attacks.
