+@section Selecting Cryptographic Key Sizes
+@cindex key sizes
+
+In TLS, since a lot of algorithms are involved, it is not easy to set a consistent security level.
+For this reason this section will present some correspondance between key sizes of symmetric algorithms
+and public key algorithms based on the most conservative values of @xcite{SELKEY}.
+Those can be used to generate certificates with appropriate key sizes as well
+as parameters for Diffie Hellman and SRP authentication.
