Gets a value that indicates the length of the key used by the encryption algorithm for a secure connection.
An integer value which specifies the encryption key length if a secure connection has been established; otherwise a value of 0 is returned.
The CipherStrength property returns the number of bits in the key used to encrypt the secure data stream. Common values returned by this property are 40, 56 and 128. A key length of 40-bits is considered to be relatively insecure, while a key length of 56-bit is considered moderate and 128-bit keys are considered to be very secure. If this property returns a value of 0, this means that a secure connection has not been established with the remote host.
