What you're looking for is Rijndael, that is the original name for AES
before it was selected to be AES. IIRC the keying system is specified for
any n*32 bit key, the key expansion itself it actually necessary (more
rounds are needed for security), and while I'm not certain the original
paper had the necessary relationship between key length and rounds, I know
it is fairly easily derived and I'm quite certain has been published a
number of times.
