The AES competition involved many of the world's top cryptographers.

Some of the major developments in cryptography before AES were:

At least two writers have proposed methods of making ciphers provably resistant to linear and differential cryptanalysis, Carlisle Adams in CAST and Serge Vaudenay with his decorrelation theory.

Most of the people mentioned above, and a number of others well-known in the field, participated in the AES process.

Here is a table showing the major players. For many papers, some of the co-authors are omitted to keep it simple; see references in the main article for complete co-author lists.
