Why do I need 128 bit encryption?

     Encryption strength indicates the relativity difficulty of deciphering information in an encrypted transmission. Common encryption strengths include 40, 56, and 128 bit. As an example, 128 bit encryption is roughly 309,485,009,821,345,068,724,781,056 times stronger than 40 bit encryption. That is why 128 bit encryption is generally considered the standard for properly securing sensitive data across the Internet. This protects YOU.

How do I check to see if my browser is updated to 128 bit encryption?

  1. In order to check if your browser has this capability (and upgrade, if needed) you can do the following:

  2. Select the "Help" button on the menu of your browser

  3. Select the "About" button within this menu
    For Internet Explorer read the "Cipher Strength", for Netscape it will say "This version supports 128 bit security"

  4. If it says anything less than "128" you will need to update your security
