<p dir="auto">I agree with <a href="https://gitlab.com/phlerovium" data-user="5110775" data-reference-type="user" data-container="body" data-placement="top" class="gfm gfm-project_member js-user-link" title="Brian Henry">@phlerovium</a>'s note: key size or length has to do with the octets consumed on the wire or in local storage.  "strength" is a rough attempt at providing an equivalence to the expected "work factor" (in log 2) needed for a brute-force attack.</p>
<p dir="auto">But the note made me realize there is an additional weird annotation above, namely:</p>
<pre class="code highlight js-syntax-highlight language-plaintext" lang="plaintext" v-pre="true"><code><span id="LC1" class="line" lang="plaintext">Generating a 256 bit EdDSA (Ed448) private key</span></code></pre>
<p dir="auto">That should probably read "Generating a 448 bit EdDSA (Ed448) private key".</p>
