Cryptographic Key Size

Description

The AES key length a mission provisions for link encryption. New missions planned after this issue are held to 256-bit keys for a stronger long-term security margin, while already-fielded systems may keep running on 128-bit keys so the requirement does not force a retrofit of flight hardware.
