Question: Is 128bit AES enough security for you?
Yes, if in XEX mode.
Yes, even CBC mode is enough for me.
128 bit?! Are we back in the 1980's?

Huh Why does Comodo only use 128-bit AES (I'll assume CBC mode, as not specified in Help-Appendix1) encryption as its safest available method?

Actually, AES-128 is MORE secure than AES-256
