In the places I have been reading, crypto strengths are given in bits. We usually work in bytes. In general, all caveats apply, does
expect number of bits?

It would seem so.

from the javadocs

keysize - the keysize. This is an algorithm-specific metric, specified in number of bits.

Yes, it was south of me. Looks like a really bad one. Perhaps not bad for Tornado Alley, but rare for the East.

This brings to mind an incident in my youth. {     } One in which the human mind vastly, beyond any reasonable measure, was a much greater security issue than any computer will ever be. The deciding factor in putting this up was that it was at the end of useful service life of my mental and perception for that day. I wanted the student we are working with to see me post what could be a simple fact with a simple answer.

At some point, the numbing of the mind leaves making a note of the isssue and putting it away for the night as the accepted practice. That is best done, in this work, by leaving a note for all to see - and possibly counterclaim by one's own team members - as a check. If James Dekker does not mention this conversation we should bring that to his attention.

Also, the human mind thing is close to the Meaningless Drivel converstaton about the movie. I found a lot of stuff in a hurry thanks to Wikki. It is getting deep like a rock dropping from a bird-claw.
