AES is a variant of Rijndael which has a fixed block size of 128 bits, and a key size of 128, 192, or 256 bits.

The key size used for an AES cipher specifies the number of repetitions of transformation rounds that convert the input, called the plaintext, into the final output, called the ciphertext.

For each round, a subkey is derived from the main key using Rijndael's key schedule ; each subkey is the same size as the state.

Blowfish has a 64-bit block size and a variable key length from 32 bits up to 448 bits.

A block cipher consists of two paired algorithms, one for encryption, E, and the other for decryption, D. Both algorithms accept two inputs: an input block of size n bits and a key of size k bits ; and both yield an n-bit output block.

which takes as input a key K of bit length k, called the key size, and a bit string P of length n, called the block size, and returns a string C of n bits.

* Key size, i. e., the size of key used to encrypt a message.

In cryptography, key size or key length is the size measured in bits of the key used in a cryptographic algorithm ( such as a cipher ).

For example, Triple DES has a key size of 168 bits but provides at most 112 bits of security, since an attack of complexity 2 < sup > 112 </ sup > is known.

There was speculation at the time, however, that the NSA has deliberately reduced the key size from the original value of 112 bits ( in IBM's Lucifer cipher ) or 64 bits ( in one of the versions of what was adopted as DES ) so as to limit the strength of encryption available to non-US users.

The Advanced Encryption Standard published in 2001 uses a key size of ( at minimum ) 128 bits.

" The general consensus is that these public key algorithms are insecure at any key size if sufficiently large quantum computers capable of running Shor's algorithm become available.

It concluded that the way the increases were announced was the key factor, and that if they had been introduced calmly, they would have been accepted.

The key elements of the package were introduction of a consumption tax called the goods and services tax ( GST ), the compensatory abolition of a range of other taxes such as sales tax, deep cuts in income tax for the middle and upper-middle classes, and increases in pensions and benefits to compensate the poor for the rise in prices flowing from the GST.

In 2010, he founded the International Conservation Forum, a website that increases awareness and facilitiates action on key conservation issues through the use of social media and the publication of the online magazine, The Horn.

However, tying keys to each other in this way increases the damage which may result from a security breach as attackers will learn something about more than one key.

This also limits loss of information, as the number of stored encrypted messages which will become readable when a key is found will decrease as the frequency of key change increases.

Vacuum distillation increases the relative volatility of the key components in many applications.

As the level of difficulty increases, individuals increasingly demonstrate an understanding of what constitutes a key difference ( or the " rule ") for solving puzzles involving one to one comparisons, and on later items identifying common differences among a set of items.

Any attempt to run up the score increases the risks of losing a key player to an injury that could affect the team's chances for the rest of the season.

Key mixing increases the complexity of decoding the keys by giving an attacker substantially less data that has been encrypted using any one key.

This is the key to how the Galileo thermometer works: as the temperature of most liquids increases, their density decreases.

Alternatively, after the switch button ( D key by default ) is pressed, a green arc is displayed originating from the ship and widening as distance increases.

One of the key elements of the package was the introduction of a consumption tax called the Goods and Services Tax ( GST ), the compensatory abolition of a range of other taxes such as sales tax, deep cuts in income tax for the middle and upper-middle classes, and increases in pensions and benefits to compensate the poor for the rise in prices flowing from the GST.

As the load factor increases towards 100 %, the number of probes that may be required to find or insert a given key rises dramatically.

This requires more processing power as the desired accuracy increases, although the well-known efficiency of the FFT, a key part of the periodogram algorithm, makes it suitably efficient for many purposes.

No information was released on the trip, and it was planned with a minimum of exposure in Chicago .... were rumors about alleged astonishing increases in sales of firearms, knives, ammunition, and dynamite, and of threats of violence against key school personnel.

Parker's emphasis on the fortification as the key element has attracted substantial criticism from some academics, such as John A. Lynn and M. S. Kingra, particularly with respect to the claimed causal link between the new fortress design and increases in army sizes during this period.

otherwise, you'll have to spend a few minutes to either attach a suitable spring clip somewhere on the press head or fit the key to a length of light chain and fasten to the bottom of the motor mount so that the key is out of the way when not in use.

As well as different instruments, the tempo, time signature and key signature may be altered, sometimes drastically so.

When the key was not in use, that switch was kept closed, so that a signal was continually sent.

In the early 20th century, before enzymology was well understood, colloids were thought to be the key to the operation of enzymes ; i. e., the addition of small quantities of an enzyme to a quantity of water would, in some fashion yet to be specified, subtly alter the properties of the water so that it would break down the enzyme's specific substrate, such as a solution of ATPase breaking down ATP.

Keys are used to control the operation of a cipher so that only the correct key can convert encrypted text ( ciphertext ) to plaintext.

Many ciphers are based on publicly known algorithms or are open source, and so it is only the difficulty of obtaining the key that determines security of the system, provided that there is no analytic attack ( i. e., a ' structural weakness ' in the algorithms or protocols used ), and assuming that the key is not otherwise available ( such as via theft, extortion, or compromise of computer systems ).

Shannon's work on information theory showed that to achieve so called perfect secrecy, it is necessary for the key length to be at least as large as the message to be transmitted and only used once ( this algorithm is called the One-time pad ).

As a crude example, each finger might control one key which corresponds to one bit in a byte, so that using seven keys and seven fingers, one could enter any character in the ASCII set — if the user could remember the binary codes.

Each key is essentially a shift key so that with ten keys, there are ten single strokes and ninety two-finger keystrokes.

One of the key aims was to make the data independent of the logic of application programs, so that the same data could be made available to different applications.

Diffeomorphism does not respect distance and angle, so these key concepts of Euclidean geometry are lost on a smooth manifold.

His charts of the North American northwest coast were so extremely accurate that they served as the key reference for coastal navigation for generations.

The art of putting together a set is hard to put into words, but the tunes must flow from one to another in terms of key and melodic structure, without being so similar as to all sound the same.

Just as John stood to benefit strategically from marrying Isabella, so the marriage threatened the interests of the Lusignans, whose own lands currently provided the key route for royal goods and troops across Aquitaine.

Generally, flat-panel membrane keyboards do not have much of a " feel ", so many machines which use them issue a beep or flash a light when the key is pressed.

Most karaoke machines have technology that electronically changes the pitch of the music so that amateur singers can choose a key that is appropriate for their vocal range, while maintaining the original tempo of the song.

These key stations have been chosen due to high usage, interchange potential, and geographic spread, so that up to 75 % of journeys will be achievable step-free.

This links to another key theme: not so much the normative theories of how news should come about, but rather the empirical practice of how it does really come about.

The Duo 101, so named as either a soft top or hard top could be used, incorporated many key stylistic cues inspired by the Lotus Elan, a 1960s roadster.

The classic merge ( the one used in merge sort ) outputs the data item with the lowest key at each step ; given some sorted lists, it produces a sorted list containing all the elements in any of the input lists, and it does so in time proportional to the sum of the lengths of the input lists.
