Coming months. Pah!

NetBSD-current IPsec (from KAME) now supports rijndael algorithm
for ESP encryption, thanks to the integration work of Jun-ichiro
itojun Hagino. rijndael is the finalist of AES contest, and will
be standardized in FIPS standard suite, to replace DES.

AES finalist was picked on Oct 2, the official algorithm number is
decided on Oct 3. NetBSD-current has working rijndael support
since Oct 3 (the foundation has been there waiting for the algorithm
number).

Cheers,
Julian.
