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. Two of the most widely used encryption levels are 40-bit and 128-bit, and many browsers today offer both. To maximise protection, Business Cards Online requires you to use 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 times more secure than 40-bit encryption.
