PDF encryption/protection method

  • We have a client considering a tool that uses WPDF. They are concerned about the security of a PDF sent via email since the PDF will contain sensitive information.

    With a protected PDF document generated by WPDF, what is the kind of protection provided?

    The PDF document will have a password that is reasonably complex associated with it.

    Type of encryption (if any) such as AES, Blowfish, etc.
    Encryption bits such as 128, 256, etc.
    Any other security features of note?

    Hopefully if this gets to the right person, it will be a quick answer.

    Any help would be appreciated. We may have several other prospects that could be interested if I can address their security concerns.
