encryption

[liz_0710]

I am purchasing a new Dell system with Windows XP. I am
wondering how strong of an encryption there will be with
Internet Explorer.

Which version of Internet Explorer would have 128 bit
encryption?

Thanks

Windows XP includes Internet Explorer 6 and has 128-bit
encryption standard.

Can you download a higher encryption? Exemple: to do
internet banking would 128-bit be enough.

128 can and has been broken. 512 is more along the lines
of intractable at the current hardware level.

So where do you find 512? Can you download it from the
microsoft website?

That poster has not a clue. There is no IE browser
that has 512-bit encryption.
