Set minimum size of asymmetric encryption
Summary
The asymmetric encryption mechanism must use a minimum key size of 2048 bits.
Description
The key size in asymmetric encryption is directly correlated with the strength of the encryption. Larger key sizes provide a higher level of security because they increase the complexity of the mathematical problem that an attack is intended to solve and break the encryption.
