The only obvious explanation for why 128-bit was chosen is that it comprises part of a private URL for downloading the file--and thus a shorter URL can be generated. If this is the only reason it seems a weak argument. Some discussion of another weakness of secure file share services was reported in 2014 here newswise.com/articles/view/616521/?sc=rssn with the full paper here: arxiv.org/pdf/1404.2697v1.pdf. The weakness they found was the fact that the companies generate their own certificates rather than using third-party certificates. | |
