K9 simply means that your asa has strong encryption on it, you can verify this by checking the output of show version comman. If you have 3DES/AES enabled, it means your ASA is K9, if not you can get 3DES/AES activation key from Cisco. Here is a link on how to obtain 3DES/AES key and also how to activate it on the ASA, don't forget to save your current activation key in case things don't go well.
