    that Serpent uses so many rounds means that it is the slowest of
    the five AES finalists. But this shouldn't be an issue because it
    still outperforms Triple DES. The algorithm's designers maintain
    that Serpent has a service life of at least a century."

    "Serpent is a 128-bit block cipher, meaning that data is encrypted
    and decrypted in 128-bit chunks. The key length can vary, but for
    the purposes of the AES it is defined to be either 128, 192, or 256
    bits. This block size and variable key length is standard among all
    AES candidates and was one of the major design requirements specified
    by NIST. The Serpent algorithm uses 32 rounds, or iterations of the
    main algorithm."
