strong cryptography

nounid 4262·updated May 12, 2026
candidate

Cryptographic techniques that make it almost impossible to decrypt without having the key. The strength relies on the cryptographic key used. Effective size of the key should meet the minimum key size of comparable strengths recommendations based on industry-tested and accepted algorithms and strong key lengths. Examples of industry-tested and accepted standards and algorithms for encryption include AES (128 bits and higher), TDES (minimum double-length keys), RSA (1024 bits and higher), ECC (160 bits and higher), and ElGamal (1024 bits and higher). See NIST Special Publication 800-57 (http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/) for more information.
