Until recently, no encryption requiring a key greater than 40-bit was permitted to be exported outside of the United States and Canada. If you are currently using a browser with 40-bit encryption, we would like you to upgrade now. With the release of 128-bit encryption capability and digital identity verification, you can download a Netscape or Microsoft browser that provides the highest level of encryption commercially available.
