AES instruction set

An Advanced Encryption Standard instruction set is now integrated into many processors. The purpose of the instruction set is to improve the speed of applications performing encryption and decryption using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). They are often implemented as instructions implementing a single round of AES along with a special version for the last round which has a slightly different method.
