What encryption standard is Microsoft Active Sync using

I know exchange activesync is using SSL encryption to transmit it's data (at least that's what the checkbox says is it TLS?). But I couldn't find anywhere where it documented what version of SSL or well anything about the encrypted tunnel at all.

does anyone know or could point me to a document that explains their encryption?

I think it's 128-bit SSL, that's all what I know about it, it's not the most secure solution for sure ... A few companies I know combine it with a VPN connection on top of EAS, to bring it that extra layer of security.

yeah we may end up having to go that route I was just hoping it was documented somewhere so it would be easier to justify the cost and overhead of the VPN.
Not that I have seen... I mean I haven't found any docs going into detail on that specific subject.
