The key standard for AES defines the possible key lengths that can be used with the algorithm. AES supports three key lengths — 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit.

• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used in government and industry. It offers key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits, providing strong security.

IBM said the algorithm will be examined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which will determine whether to recommend it as a standard for securing communications.
