2011: Full biclique attack on AES.

AES likely has a security level equal to that of Skipjack, but I feel a
little itchy when AES and SHA-3 share some designers, and as attacks
against AES improve, inertia to keep AES increases.

I really want a cryptographic FPGA coprocessor for multicore CPUs. Many
processors already have integrated graphics.
