| Jun 3, 2016 at 8:46 | comment | added | Mok-Kong Shen | I surmise that a comparison between asymmetric and symmetric encryption algorithms could under circumstances be analogous to one between nuclear and non-nuclear power generations and such numerical figures shouldn't be taken in a pedantic manner. I conjecture that the differences in the ways of using these two classes of encryption algorithms in the practice (including the modes of operations used) could possibly effect certain non-trivial influences on the comparison in scenarios in reality. | |

| Jun 11, 2013 at 17:26 | comment | added | pg1989 | The numbers on the left are symmetric keys of corresponding strength. I.e. a symmetric key of 80 bits provides roughly as much security as a 1024-bit RSA key. For posterity, I'll mention that the table is on page 62 of the linked NIST document. | |
