AES Key Size Definition: Encryption key length specification
AES key size refers to the length of the cryptographic key employed in the Advanced Encryption Standard, typically 128, 192, or 256 bits in length. In general, the greater the key size, the more robust it is against attempts to guess or break the encryption via brute force attacks. While AES-128 is adequate for many purposes, AES-256 offers a higher level of protection for scenarios that demand enhanced security.
