AES? If so, the Audio Engineering Society has existed for a lot longer than the Advanced Encryption Standard.

Here are more details in case anyone is wondering.

The Audio Engineer Society has been around since 1948 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Engineering_Society).

It released the AES/EBU standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES3) for digital audio I/O in 1985, and AES/EBU is still used on some pro audio equipment. So in a digital audio context, "AES" is already familiar.
