There are also settings to log the database encryption used. They will report the current encrpytion level based on the settings the first time a database is opened.
Administrators may now easily identify which databases are currently encrypted and the encryption level, by setting the following notes.ini variable
SHOW_ENCRYPTED_DATABASES=

Set SHOW_ENCRYPTED_DATABASES = 7 in notes.ini
When encrypted databases are opened for the first time - 0 to 1 transition, one of the following messages will be logged
“Current encryption strength: SIMPLE - < absolute file path >”
“Current encryption strength: STRONG - < absolute file path >”

“Current encryption strength: MEDIUM - < absolute file path >”

“Current encryption strength: MEDIUM+ - < absolute file path >”
As long as running Release 9.0.1, SHOW_ENCRYPTED_DATABASES works for all database ODS levels
