What encryption strength is used at Queensland Health?
Queensland Health is using 168-bit (3DES) encryption. 3DES is one of the longest and strongest secure key lengths supported by most browsers. 128-bit (and above) encryption strengths are currently used by large organisations such as Banks and the Australian Tax Office. Queensland Health supports Novell GroupWise as its email client which utilises the 168-bit (3DES) encryption algorithm. Microsofts Outlook Express 6, Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2002 support 3DES cipher strength.
