Is AES-128 weak?

AES-128 is faster and more efficient and less likely to have a full attack developed against it (due to a stronger key schedule). AES-256 is more resistant to brute force attacks and is only weak against related key attacks (which should never happen anyway).

Is AES-128 good enough?

AES-128 provides more than enough security margin for the [foreseeable] future. But if you’re already using AES-256, there’s no reason to change. Briefly, there is a long-known problem with how AES deals with 256-bit AES keys. (Of course in this business a “long-known problem” means about 10 years old.)

Can a 128 bit 3DES key be used for AES?

If you have 112 key bits, you can create 2 keys for 3DES or you can pad the key material up to 128, 192 or 256 bits and then use AES. If you want to use the same key for different algorithms it is advisable to change one of the keys slightly in a predictable way.

Which is better AES or 3DES or des?

Compared to DES and 3DES, AES offers much better performance —both in terms of speed as well as security. It’s known to perform six times faster than DES. But what makes AES so great?

Which is faster AES or AES-128 block cipher?

AES-128 on the other hand uses all 128 bits of the key, and provides a security margin that is almost but not quite the same as the key size (over 127 bits). Furthermore the AES block cipher is faster, has less quirks (such as parity bits, weak keys) and has a larger block size – which is required for some (authenticated) modes of operation.

What’s the difference between 128 and 256 bit 3DES?

If you have 112 key bits, you can create 2 keys for 3DES or you can pad the key material up to 128, 192 or 256 bits and then use AES. If you want to use the same key for different algorithms it is advisable to change one of the keys slightly in a predictable way. This would prevent any special attacks against using the same key two times.
