Another interesting feature is the fact that this may be the first encryption
system that goes to 10 1/2:

  "offers the equivalent of 192-bit cryptographic strength"

Since 128 bits is the benchmark 10 and going to 11 is 256 bits for when you
really need that factor of 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456
extra safety margin, this one goes to 10 1/2.
