A. You can determine your Cipher Strength (encryption) by launching Internet Explorer and clicking on Help/About Internet Explorer. A box will “pop up” containing information about your browser, the Cipher Strength should read 128-bit. If you do not have 128-bit encryption, click on “update information”, which is a link which allows you to update your system. If you are using Internet Explorer 5.5 with Service Pack 1 or Internet Explorer 6.0, then you should already be set for 128-bit encryption.
