64 bits? What is this, the 90s? I'm going with the 256-bit wonder, baby!

A 40-bit key? That's about as secure as a paper bag. I'll take the 128-bit option, thank you very much.

Hmm, 256 bits for encryption? That's like using a nuclear warhead to crack a walnut!

40 bits seems a bit too low though, I'd go with 64 or 128 for better security.
