AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a specification for
the encryption of electronic data. The key size used for an
AES cipher specifies the number of repetitions of
transformation rounds that convert the input, called the
plaintext, into the final output, called the ciphertext. The
number of cycles of repetition are as follows: 10 cycles of
repetition for 128-bit keys. 12 cycles of repetition for 192-bit
keys. 14 cycles of repetition for 256-bit keys.

DNP3 DNP3 (Distributed Network Protocol) is a set of
communications protocols used between components in
process automation systems. Its main use is in utilities such as
electric and water companies. It plays a crucial role in
SCADA systems, where it is used by SCADA Master Stations
(aka Control Centers), Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), and
Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs). It is primarily used for
communications between a master station and RTUs or IEDs'.
