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.
