Well, there's NSA certified devices (Type 1, Type 2, etc) which are military grade. Something using AES correctly could be a Type 3 device.. "when appropriately keyed" :-)

To me, this would be "XYZ Compliant", not "XYZ Grade".

Grade implies something fundamentally changed/altered/adjusted in the underlying product to make it suitable for government/military/whatever use. Here, though, AES is AES whether it is used by my mother or by the military.
