"A Chinese software developer who previously expressed suicidal thoughts has been jailed after putting one of drone company DJI's AES private keys onto Github in plain text." What are AES private keys? Does this mean there's AES public keys? When did AES become a public key crypto system?

  The Reg is unusually bad, though. When they can't get plain science or tech right, it's time to not read them any more.

It was probably just the shared secret, but private key sounds more techy.
