Also lower than triple DES (112).
Well, the references to 3DES and RC4 shows that the whole SSF concept is broken anyway. No-one would assume RC4 to have SSF=128 anymore.
This is a can of worms. The OpenSSL folks also had to adjust there cipher sets behind the labels HIGH etc. recently. This should be subject of on-going changes.
The CyrusSASL project also sets SSF levels which I'd consider outdated. Well, the project seems pretty much dead anyway. Ciao, Michael.
