H3: Security Strength Factors
-The server uses {{TERM[expand]Security Strength Factors}} (SSF) to
-indicate the relative strength of protection. A SSF of zero (0)
-indicates no protections are in place. A SSF of one (1) indicates
-integrity protection are in place. A SSF greater than one (>1)
-roughly correlates to the effective encryption key length. For
-example, {{TERM:DES}} is 56, {{TERM:3DES}} is 112, and {{TERM:AES}}
-128, 192, or 256.

A number of administrative controls rely on SSFs associated with
TLS and SASL protection in place on an LDAP session.
