This leads to a reduction of the bit length /.

It can hash messages of bit length up to .

In C, the exact bit length of a field can be specified:

Unfortunately, it's proprietary, and I couldn't see anywhere where they talk about the algorithm, and it wasn't very much bit length.

It's the bit length we're focusing on.

And the idea was, when we have a certain bit length, then we're going to be trying different - for example, using symmetric encryption.

Smaller bit lengths in general will suffice.

But just remember, when we double the bit length, we're not doubling the table size.

A forty bit length corresponds to a total of possible keys.

This also holds for the special case in which and are of the same bit length.
