In order to access the remote host system using a securely encrypted connection (HTTPS), you
need a browser that supports the HTTPS protocol. Strong security is only assured by using a
key length of 128 Bit. Some of the old browsers do not have a strong 128 Bit encryption
algorithm.
Using Internet Explorer, open the menu entry “?” and “Info” to read about the key length that is
currently activated. The dialog box contains a link that leads you to information on how to
upgrade your browser to a state of the art encryption scheme. The figure below shows the
dialog box presented by the Internet Explorer 6.0. Note the Cipher Strength is 128-bit.


Newer web browsers generally support strong encryption on default.
