The symmetric encryption mechanism must use a minimum key size of 128 bits.
As the key size increases, the number of possible key combinations grows significantly. Each additional bit in the key size doubles the number of possible keys. A 128-bit key provides a larger key space compared to shorter key sizes, making it more resistant to brute force attacks.
Widely used symmetric encryption algorithms, such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), use a 128-bit key size as the default or minimum recommended key length.
