Key length / strength - The key length for an algorithm is the number of bits (binary digits) that the key value occupies. With computerised algorithms it is often considered to be a measure of the strength of the algorithm (the more bits the better). Generally speaking, for implementations of internationally recognized algorithms this is the case.
