Browser Version Requirements
Whichever browser version you use, it must support 128-bit encryption (also called "strong" or "domestic" or "U.S." encryption). The 128-bit version of a web browser gives you the highest level of protection possible whenever you use our online application over the Internet. To check the encryption strength of your browser, follow these instructions:
Internet Explorer
- From the menu bar choose "Help" then choose "About Internet Explorer".
- Look for the cipher strength information.
- If the cipher strength is 40-bit, you will need to upgrade your browser.
Netscape Navigator
- From the menu bar choose "Help" then choose "About Navigator".
- Within the encryption information you should see the line "This version supports U.S. encryption".
- If the line reads "This version supports International encryption" you will need to upgrade your browser.
- NetScape will be not be a supported browser beyond 10/1/09.
