Camellia was jointly developed by Mitsubishi Electric and NTT of Japan.
Camellia cipher has been approved for use by the ISO/IEC, the European Union's NESSIE project and the Japanese CRYPTREC project.
Camellia cipher has security levels and processing abilities comparable to the Advanced Encryption Standard.[1]
Camellia cipher was designed to be suitable for both software and hardware implementations, from low-cost Smart Cards to high-speed network systems. It is part of the Transport Layer Security (TLS),[2] cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network such as the internet.
