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...

The bit is the most basic unit of information in computing and digital communication. The name is a portmanteau of binary digit. The bit represents a logical...

drill and tap size chart. Metric drill bit sizes define the diameter of the bit in terms of standard metric lengths. Standards organizations define sets...

A bit array (also known as bitmask, bit map, bit set, bit string, or bit vector) is an array data structure that compactly stores bits. It can be used...

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...

(CIDR) notation, followed by a slash character (/), and ending with the bit-length of the prefix. For example, 198.51.100.0/24 is the prefix of the Internet...

Twist drill bits are available in standard lengths, referred to as Stub-length or Screw-Machine-length (short), the extremely common Jobber-length (medium)...

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...

computer architecture, 64-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 64 bits wide. Also, 64-bit central processing units (CPU)...

prefix length associated with an IPv4 address or network in quad-dotted notation: 32 bits, starting with a number of 1-bits equal to the prefix length, ending...

+ b, where b is given by a certain 384-bit number. The curve has order less than the field size. The bit-length of a key is considered to be that of the...

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...

PDP-1/PDP-9/PDP-15 used 18-bit words, so a double word was 36 bits. These computers had addresses 12 to 18 bits in length. The addresses referred to 36-bit words, so the...

of Huffman table selection. Delta encoding (Δ) of Huffman-code bit lengths. Sparse bit array showing which symbols are used. Any sequence of 4 to 255...

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...

operation operates on a bit string, a bit array or a binary numeral (considered as a bit string) at the level of its individual bits. It is a fast and simple...

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...

in particular, the result for an input of all zero bits is usually 0 for ffs, and the bit length of the operand for the other operations. If one has...

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...

detect spoofed packets. Payload Length (16 bits) The size of the payload in octets, including any extension headers. The length is set to zero when a Hop-by-Hop...

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"...

number of bits in error. Hamming codes are perfect codes, that is, they achieve the highest possible rate for codes with their block length and minimum...

phase for the IBM Stretch computer, which had addressing to the bit and variable field length (VFL) instructions with a byte size encoded in the instruction...

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...

A variable-length quantity (VLQ) is a universal code that uses an arbitrary number of binary octets (eight-bit bytes) to represent an arbitrarily large...

messages than a 128-bit length size would suggest (one byte equaling eight bits). A length size of 131-bit is the comparable length size ( 8 × 2 128 =...

different frame format that allows a different data length as well as optionally switching to a faster bit rate after the arbitration is decided. CAN FD is...

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...
