It doesn't exist any more. It used to be 128 bits for some time (I think
it's still 128 bits for undeclared secret-key crypto-systems, but

AIUI for GnuPG and OpenSSL (because they have been declared to the
appropriate authority---the DCSSI---which delivered authorizations that
expire in July 2007). See:
