ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a communication device includes a key strength controlling agent308operable to (i) receive a request for a cryptographic key; (ii) determine, from a restriction identifier, whether the cryptographic key strength is restricted; (iii) when the cryptographic key is restricted, cause the use of a second cryptographic key having a second key strength; and (iv) when the cryptographic key is not restricted, cause the use of a first cryptographic key having a first key strength. The first and second key strengths are different.
