Encryption keys vary in size.The larger the key the harder it is to break. The encryption algorithms supported by OpenEdge have the following key sizes:

  • 56 (DES)
  • 128 (AES)
  • 168 (DES3)
  • 192 (AES)
  • 256 (AES)

The trade-off between the key sizes is that larger keys take longer to encrypt and decrypt.
