Use Nutscape 3. The key symbol has one tooth for a 40 bit insecure 
connection and two teeth for a 128 bit session.

This was information was removed from Nutscape 4, presumably to hide 
from the public that not all "secure" sessions are equal. It would be 
nice if Fortify could modify the lock symbol so that it indicated 
whethe r a session was secure or not.
