AES matlab source code

function [s_box, inv_s_box, w, poly_mat, inv_poly_mat] = aes_init
%AES_INIT  Initialisation of AES-components.
%
%   [S_BOX, INV_S_BOX, W, POLY_MAT, INV_POLY_MAT] = AES_INIT
%   initializes AES-components 
%   to be used by subsequent functions.
%
%   In the initialization step the S-boxes (S_BOX and INV_S_BOX) 
%   and the polynomial matrices (POLY_MAT and INV_POLY_MAT)
%   are created and
%   an example cipher key is expanded into 
%   the round key schedule (W).
