128-bit
Common encryption standard
128-bit describes data or systems that process information in chunks of 128 binary digits.
In computing, 128-bit encryption (AES-128) provides strong security for sensitive data.
A 128-bit number can represent vastly more values than 64-bit—the difference matters for cryptography, unique identifiers like UUIDs, and IP addresses in IPv6.
Gaming consoles marketed as 128-bit (Dreamcast, PlayStation 2) used the term loosely for promotional effect.
