=== AES === One of the well-known successes is the selection of Rijndael as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which has millions of users. There are over a thousand applications, such as the protection of US government information.
== Research projects == COSIC has participated in over 50 European research projects.<ref name="cosic_about">{{Cite web|url=https://www.esat.kuleuven.be/cosic/about-us/|title=About us - COSIC|website=www.esat.kuleuven.be|access-date=2023-08-21|date=2023-02-01<!--date from page source-->}}</ref>
