72,057,594,037,927,900 or seventy two quadrillion

Tens of thousands of computers, all across the U.S. and Canada, were linked together via the Internet in an unprecedented cooperative supercomputing effort to decrypt a message encoded with thegovernment-endorsed Data Encryption Standard (DES). iNetz Media Group of Salt Lake City, Utah, a corporate web development company, was participating in the effort to decrypt the message, and successfully did so at around midnight on June 17, 1997. More on this here.

The secured web page where you would enter your credit card and personal information is protected by our 128 bit encrypted code. The number of possibilities in 128 bit encryption is:

340,282,366,920,938,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or ?

Taking the 56 bit DES code possibilities and dividing it into the 128 bit encryption code possibilities,gives the number of how much more secure our 128 bit encryption code is over the standard DES code that is used in electronic bank transcations. Here's the number:

4,722,366,482,869,650,000,000 or 4.7 sextillion or 4.72237 times 10 to the 21st power

That should give you and idea how much more powerful 128 bit code is in providing security to your sensitive information on our secured server.

One last tid bit on this:
If the same force of computers that broke the DES code in four months tried to break the 128 bit code, it would take 17 quintillion centuries (17,708,874,310,761, 200,000 centuries), but in a few years, who knows, it could go down to 4 months. :-)
