Description Hugh O'Brien 2015-07-29 22:27:16 UTC 
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/swap-encrypting.html 

Article claims that the geli default AES keysize is 256 bits, is is in fact 128. The geli defaults are quite good already, and include a 4k sector size. More emphasis should be made on accepting the geli defaults as is.
