need to know the strength of encryption in transit

when we encrypt the network data on a Notes port on a Domino server, and when a client talks to a Domino server or a Domino sever replicates with another Domino server, do we tell how strong this encryption is??

    Wow, it's nice to see that matrix. Thanks for pointing that out.

    The matrix, however, still doesn't address the question.

    Let's say servers and user IDs were created "long time ago" and use shorter/weaker keys, by upgrading to v14, the IDs remain the same inferior strength. This gives a falsehood of secure communications.

    If the server has higher strength and user ID has a lower strength, I am sure lower strength encryption is used...an admin would have no idea about this, because it's not shown in the console.

    Also, when an ID is created, I think the default strength is "RC2" (unless this is addressed in v14.5). The option hides behind "Password Options", which is mis-worded as well. "Password and Key Strength Options", perhaps..
