Summary:In this paper, we describe a simplified version of the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm. This version can be used in the classroom for explaining the Advanced Encryption Standard. After presentation of the simplified version, it is easier for students to understand the real version. This simplified version has the advantage that examples can be worked by hand. We also describe attacks on this version using both linear and differential cryptanalysis. These too can be used in the classroom as a way of explaining those kinds of attacks.
