INTERNET EXPLORER
High encryption is included in the latest versions of the Internet Explorer browser.  If you are running an earlier version of Internet Explorer without 128-bit encryption, you can download the latest version of Internet Explorer from the Internet Explorer Download page.

The Internet Explorer High Encryption Pack gives you 128-bit encryption, the highest level of protection possible for all your Internet communications, including credit card use and financial transactions.

Question:
What is the difference between 128-bit and 40-bit encryption?
Answer:
The main difference is that 128-bit encryption provides a significantly greater amount of cryptographic protection than 40-bit encryption. With the increasing computing power of potential criminals, it is becoming more necessary to employ larger keys, as evidenced by a recent study by several leading cryptographers.
In terms of what the numbers represent, "128" and "40" bit encryption refer to the size of the key used to encrypt the message. Roughly speaking, 128-bit encryption is 309,485,009,821,345,068,724,781,056 times stronger than 40-bit encryption. Presently, 40-bit encryption is not considered "strong" security in the cryptographic community. However, even taking into account Moore's Law, which states that computing power doubles about every 18 months, 128-bit encryption represents a very strong method of encryption for the forseeable future.

Question:
How do I know what type of encryption or what browser version I'm using?
Answer:
Internet Explorer users:
From your toolbar click File > Help > About Internet Explorer. A screen will popup with the cipher strength (encryption) and your current browser version.

Netscape users:
1. In Navigator or Communicator, go to the Help menu and select About Navigator (or Communicator).

2.Look for the section that reads "Contains encryption software from RSA Data Security, Inc".

3.If the next paragraph says "This version supports U.S. security", that means you have 128-bit security. If it says you have International security, that means you have 40-bit security..
