title: When will C# AES algorithm be FIPS compliant?
body: <p>Right now the only way I can get the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.rijndaelmanaged.aspx" rel="noreferrer">RijndaelManaged</a> algorithm to work on a computer with the Local Security Setting for FIPS turned on, is to <a href="http://blog.aggregatedintelligence.com/2007/10/fips-validated-cryptographic-algorithms.html" rel="noreferrer">disable it</a>.  It is a government computer, so I'm not sure how that will fly.  I've seen posts on the <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnfa/archive/2006/10/09/The-Differences-Between-Rijndael-and-AES.aspx" rel="noreferrer">msdn blog sites</a> that say they are working on an AES FIPS compliant version, but I cant seem to find out anything more.  Does anyone know when this might happen?</p>
