Description
works with Netscape Communicator 4.x, Netscape 6.x and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x browsers that support strong 128-bit encryption. This is the most secure form of encryption generally available today. This means you can do your transactions over the Internet and be assured that we have taken every measure to protect the privacy of your information.
Encryption is the process of converting information into a more secure format for electronic transmission. This means plain text is translated into scrambled code (encrypted) before being transmitted, then translated back to plain text (decrypted) at the receiving end of the transmission. It is comparable to writing a letter in code, putting it in an envelope, and mailing it. The process of converting the information to a code helps to safeguard your privacy, as long as no one can intercept the envelope and decipher the code.
Currently, there are two levels of encryption available in web browsers used in North America. Standard 40-bit encryption and strong 128-bit encryption. The standard 40-bit encryption is more commonly used. The 128-bit strong encryption, which is available with most browsers, provides a higher level of security and offers the best protection when transmitting confidential data over the Internet.
