service packs.
Why are more bits better?
Breaking an encryption algorithm requires trying every possible key.
The more bits used in an algorithm, the more keys have to be tried. Therefore,
if you have more bits, the encryption is more difficult to break. With
a 40-bit key, there are about a trillion combinations possible. With a
128-bit key, there are about two hundred trillion times more combinations
possible.
