Nope

that should give you some understanding of the subject :)
No, it means the cypher uses 128 bits. It's an indication of how strong the encryption is. 512 bit is used by banks I think. Or even 1024 bit.
That's not bank websites. They use 128. I meant inter bank communications.
also note the type of encryption. for standard encryption, 128bits is far stronger than 128bit public key encryption.
