The primary function of AES is security; this is where the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) comes into play. Combining AES with an application significantly impacts its capacity to safeguard sensitive data. These include secure communications or private financial transactions. The adoption of AES in 2001 led to extensive evaluations that consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of AES in preventing attacks from all angles. The investigation suggests making the schedule of AES's keys more flexible to increase its resistance to direct attacks and other potential dangers. Another thing that the probe could consider is incorporating some of the information from Camellia's primary schedule of attacks with the AES algorithm; this would lead to a renaissance of Camellia's vulnerability to cyberattacks due to its complex design. The merge of these advanced Camellia Block Cipher properties onto the already standing AES structure could then bear fruit rich and plentiful. Later, we used the NIST-800-22 test suite to assess the randomness of the altered algorithm, and then we compared the new algorithm to the original AES. The outcomes show significant enhancements to the enhanced algorithm compared to the standard AES
