Summary: We will characterize topological conjugation for two-sided topological Markov shifts $(\overline{X}_A,\overline{\sigma}_A)$ in terms of the associated asymptotic Ruelle $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal{R}}_A$
and its commutative $C^*$-subalgebra $C(\overline{X}_A)$
and the canonical circle action.
We will also show that the extended Ruelle algebra $\widetilde{\mathcal{R}}_A$,
which is a unital and purely infinite version of ${\mathcal{R}}_A$,
together with its commutative $C^*$-subalgebra $C(\overline{X}_A)$
and the canonical torus action $\gamma^A$ is a complete invariant for topological conjugacy of $(\overline{X}_A,\overline{\sigma}_A)$.
The diagonal action of $\gamma^A$ has a unique KMS-state on
$\widetilde{\mathcal{R}}_A$, which is an extension of the Parry measure on $\overline{X}_A$.
