Re: File Encryption AES-128 versus AES-256? said by scottp99:So basically, my understanding was that the lower the number like (128) than its less secure than a higher number like (256)?
This is correct. However, the 128 bit encryption might still be adequate.
Where I have a choice, I choose AES-256. But if I am using software that only supports AES-128, I won't be sweating it.

| Thanks so much to all.
Sorry, but I want to learn this stuff. But limping along.
And does TrueCrypt support AES-256?
Because Im using TrueCrypt now as we speak to encrypt a volume or file, and when its mounted, it just shows AES encryption type but I dont know if its 128 or 256? |
