Security strength
A number associated with the amount of work (i.e., the number of operations) that is required to break a cryptographic algorithm or system. In this Recommendation, the security strength is specified in bits and is a specific value from the set {80, 112, 128, 192, 256}. Note that a security strength of 80 bits is no longer considered sufficiently secure.
