AES (128 bit block) : Can I use it?

If I've got a 64-bit OS such as Windows XP Professional x64 Edition running and I have the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, is AES permittable or does TRIPLEDES still need to be used?

SQL Server 2005 does not support AES encryption on Windows XP. You can visit http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345262.aspx for more details.
