What is RSA primeTest 2powSecStr stands for? #1493

For RSA ACVP page, https://pages.nist.gov/ACVP/draft-celi-acvp-rsa.html, after introduce new FIPS 186-5 standard, the "primeTest" field has 2 value for probable prime, 2pow100 and 2powSecStr. I think 2pow100 refers to FIPS 186-4 Table C.3, but if 2powSecStr refers to Table C.2, then what does "SecStr" stands for? I do not find anything similar to this word?

2^100 for 2pow100
2^SecurityStrength for 2powSecStr

Security strength is a function of modulus size

Hi, Kritner, understand, thanks.
