Hmm, it seems that we already have it in our tree:

kris        2000/10/30 03:03:33 PST

  src/sys/crypto/rijndael - Imported sources
  Update of /home/ncvs/src/sys/crypto/rijndael
  In directory freefall.freebsd.org:/c/tmp/cvs-serv3340

  Log Message:
  Initial import of AES algorithm code (aka Rijndael) from KAME.

  Status:

  Vendor Tag:   KAME
  Release Tags: KAME_2000_10_02

  N src/sys/crypto/rijndael/boxes-fst.dat
  N src/sys/crypto/rijndael/rijndael-alg-fst.c
  N src/sys/crypto/rijndael/rijndael-alg-fst.h
  N src/sys/crypto/rijndael/rijndael-api-fst.c
  N src/sys/crypto/rijndael/rijndael-api-fst.h
  N src/sys/crypto/rijndael/rijndael.h
  N src/sys/crypto/rijndael/rijndael_local.h

I donno whether kernel version is different from userland one, so I apologize in
advance for my possible stupidity. ;)

Anyway, it is better for you to co-ordinate this stuff with kris, because he is an
official security officer and it would be really wise to have his OK before
comitting things like AES.
