Bit length or bit width is the number of binary digits, called bits, necessary to represent an unsigned integer as a binary number. Formally, the bit...

hardware of the processor. The number of bits or digits in a word (the word size, word width, or word length) is an important characteristic of any specific...

cryptography, key size or key length refers to the number of bits in a key used by a cryptographic algorithm (such as a cipher). Key length defines the upper-bound...

As a unit of information, the bit is also known as a shannon, named after Claude E. Shannon. As a measure of the length of a digital string that is encoded...

encryption; this represents a relatively low level of security. A forty bit length corresponds to a total of 240 possible keys. Although this is a large...

{\textstyle {\sqrt {2^{l}}}=2^{l/2},} where l {\textstyle l} is the bit length of the hash output, and with 2 l − 1 {\textstyle 2^{l-1}} being the classical...

len(A) and len(C) are the 64-bit representations of the bit lengths of A and C, respectively, v = len(A) mod 128 is the bit length of the final block of A...

architecture, 36-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 36 bits (six six-bit characters) wide. Also, 36-bit central processing...

and third bits: Encoding method used for this block type: 00: A stored (a.k.a. raw or literal) section, between 0 and 65,535 bytes in length 01: A static...

increasing the word length; in theory to make an arbitrary n-bit central processing unit (CPU). Each of these component modules processes one bit field or "slice"...

start bit length is used to determine the baud rate, it requires the character to be odd since UART sends LSB bit first – this particular bit order scheme...

modulus for both the public and private keys. Its length, usually expressed in bits, is the key length. n is released as part of the public key. Compute...

assigned 2 bits, B has 1 bit, and C and D both have 3 bits. To make the code a canonical Huffman code, the codes are renumbered. The bit lengths stay the...

and 1024-bit variants. For pure FNV implementations, this is determined solely by the availability of FNV primes for the desired bit length; however,...

computer architecture, 12-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 12 bits (1.5 octets) wide. Also, 12-bit central processing unit...

polynomial lengths are 9 bits (CRC-8), 17 bits (CRC-16), 33 bits (CRC-32), and 65 bits (CRC-64). A CRC is called an n-bit CRC when its check value is n-bits. For...

16-bit computer. It was an unusual word size for the era; most systems used six-bit character code and used a word length of some multiple of 6-bits. This...

non-integer bit lengths, whereas code words in prefix codes such as Huffman codes can only have an integer number of bits. Therefore, a code word of length k only...

HFS Plus supports much larger files (block addresses are 32-bit length instead of 16-bit) and using Unicode (instead of Mac OS Roman or any of several...
