[liberationtech] Mozilla SSL conventions

I filed a bug in FF to update the outdated phrasing of SSL related 
security like:


     "High-grade encryption. Strongest encryption available, using 
128-bit keys at a minimum.
     Medium-grade encryption. Somewhat stronger than low-grade 
encryption, using 56- or 64-bit keys.
     Low-grade encryption. Weakest encryption available, using 40-bit 
keys."

 From my point of view the cipher should be taken into account, too. 
Plus the key length does not look like a length I would trust in 2014.

Please feel free to add your comments if you have some additional 
information on that matter.

Greetings,
Jan
