This object reports which specific encryption algorithm, such as AES-256 or, on older or less secure sessions, something weaker like DES, this remote-access session is using to protect its payload data. It matters directly for security compliance auditing; an organization mandating a minimum encryption strength for remote access needs to verify, session by session, that this value actually meets policy rather than assuming based on server-side configuration alone, since a legacy client might still be permitted to negotiate a weaker cipher. Finding even one active session reporting a deprecated algorithm like DES, when policy mandates AES, would be an actionable compliance finding requiring that client to be forced onto a stronger cipher or blocked.
