Equated to the real world, sending information without encryption is like sending a postcard through the mail - the contents are visible to anyone who wants to see it. Using this analogy, 40-bit encryption is like sending the information in a plain white envelope, and 168-bit encryption is like encasing your data in a lead-lined, 6-inch thick titanium safe that is being transported by an armored tank with a convoy of a hundred armed guards. ---- from an RSA FAQ
