In the 1980s, French chocolatiers responded to rising global competition by creating a new marketing message aiming to promote the "genuineness" of French chocolate. Some of the terms they used in this marketing included "vintage" and "grand cru". The Grand Cru designation signifies that the beans in a bar all come from a certain country or region.
Since the introduction of the Grand Cru, a new classification has arisen, that of the Premier Cru, which designates that the cocoa in a bar is sourced from a specific area, such as a plantation, within a country or region. A Premier Cru chocolate is typically considered to be of higher quality than a Grand Cru. This contrasts with the corresponding use of the terms in the wine market, where a Grand Cru wine is esteemed more highly than a Premier Cru.
In cryptography, Grand Cru is a block cipher invented in 2000 by Johan Borst. It was submitted to the NESSIE project, but was not selected.
Grand Cru is a 10-round substitution-permutation network based largely on Rijndael (or AES). It replaces a number of Rijndael's unkeyed operations with key-dependent ones, in a way consistent with the security purposes of each operation. The intent is to produce a cipher at least as secure as Rijndael, and perhaps much more secure. The block size and key size are both 128 bits, and the key schedule is the same as Rijndael's.
Grand Cru is designed on the principle of multiple layered security. It is equivalent to a chain of 4 subciphers with independent keys, such that if 3 of the keys are known, the remaining cipher should still be secure.
