I'm just gonna go with the biggest number, that's usually the right answer in these types of exams, right?

I believe it's 64 bits, but I could be wrong.

Wait, is this a trick question? I feel like the answer is supposed to be something silly, like 42 or 69.

256-bit, baby! Go big or go home. Though, is my computer even powerful enough to handle that kind of encryption?

128-bit encryption sounds pretty solid to me. That should keep the hackers at bay!

Hmm, I thought SYSKEY was used for securing the boot process, not encryption. Maybe I'm missing something here.

I agree with Cristen, 128 bits makes sense for encryption.
