If a potential problem with the security of the network
connection is found, the user is asked to give input into how the
connection should be handled.

The following values are possible:

`low': Absolutely no checks are performed.

`medium': This is the default level, and the following things will
be prompted for.

* invalid, self-signed or otherwise unverifiable certificates
* whether a previously accepted unverifiable certificate has changed
* when a connection that was previously protected by STARTTLS is
  now unencrypted

`high': In addition to the above.

* any certificate that changes its public key

`paranoid': In addition to the above.

* any new certificate that you haven't seen before"
