There's a thread on one of the other lists about DH security where several
people have said that 1024 bit DH has a strength of about 80 bits.  But in
SSL3 1024 bit ephemeral DH is used to protect the keys for 168 bit 3DES
(EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA and EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA ciphers).

Are those ciphers really that far out of balance?
