from mcrypt manpage:
"-s --keysize SIZE
SIZE is the algorithm's key size in bytes (not the size of the passphrase). It defaults to the maximum key supported by the algorithm. The maximum key sizes of the algorithms may be obtained by the --list parameter. It is safe not to touch this."
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
is it possible to set the key size in mcrypt? in php or while config/building it?
