Animation of the AES algorithm

i agree that the why is complex. but threating it as "math is complex, so let's treat it as a religion and never question or try to understand. just accept." is just plain wrong.

So, the first step should be to NOT start with the "Advanced" standard :) look for block cyphers.

And if you found your self blocked on this little presentation during the non-sense (and not explained) column transformation step, this may help you:

I've thought about it and I think I agree with you. I've only taken a little advanced math and I was able to understand most of it.

However, I still don't agree with the OP that that makes this presentation pointless.
