How does encryption work and whats the difference between 40-bit and 128-bit encryption?
Encryption software encodes data before it is transmitted over the Internet to another computer. Most major commercial browsers include encryption software, including the 4.0 and higher versions of Netscape TM Navigator and Microsoft ® Explorer. Two of the most widely used encryption levels are 40-bit and 128-bit, and many browsers today offer both. Our site requires 128-bit encryption, because it provides the most secure level of Web browser encryption available on the Internet today. In fact, it’s more than 300 x 1024 more secure than 40-bit encryption. With 128-bit encryption, you can use our site with confidence.
