Key sizes & security levels: what the numbers mean

3 questions testing what you just read — no login, no tracking, just immediate feedback.

Question 1 of 3

Why does RSA need a much larger key than ECC to reach the same security level?

Question 2 of 3

Roughly what ECC key size reaches the same ~128-bit security level as 3072-bit RSA?

Question 3 of 3

Why does AES's key size equal its security level, while RSA's key size doesn't equal its security level?
