What is the keyspace of an encryption algorithm?

  • the set of procedures used to calculate asymmetric keys
  • the set of hash functions used to generate a key
  • the mathematical equation that is used to create a key

Explanation: The keyspace of an encryption algorithm is the set of all possible key values. Keys with n bits produce a keyspace with 2^ n possible key values.​
