Can a 128 bit key be an aes-256 key?


Asked by Theodora Clay on Dec 06, 2021 FAQ



It is AES-256 if it follows the AES-256 spec (number of rounds, etc.). Even if they take a 128 bit key, run it through SHA-256 to get 256 bits and use that as an AES-256 key, it's still AES-256.
And,
The Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, is a symmetric block cipher chosen by the U.S. government to protect classified information and is implemented in software and hardware throughout the world to encrypt sensitive data. The National Institute of Standards and Technology...
Just so, While AES-128 is indeed one of the most secure methods of encrypting information, for video streaming just the presence of AES-128 does not guarantee complete security. Some streaming services market AES-128 security as being effective for protecting premium content.
Similarly,
For AES, the legal key sizes are 128, 192, and 256 bits . Changing the KeySize value resets the key and generates a new random key. This happens whenever the KeySize property setter is invoked (including when it's assigned the same value).
Accordingly,
Its Hexadecimal code is 808080. In a RGB color space, which is consist of 50.2% red, 50.2% green and 50.2% blue, and that corresponding RGB values are 128, 128, 128. In a CMYK color space, it is consist of 0% cyan, 0% magenta, 0% yellow and 49.8% black, whereas that corresponding CMYK values are 0, 0, 0, 0.5.
