SSL
comes in two strengths, 40-bit and 128-bit, which refer to the length
of the "session key" generated by every encrypted transaction.
The longer the key, the more difficult it is to break the encryption code.
Most browsers support 40-bit SSL sessions, and the latest browsers, including
Netscape Communicator 4.0, enable users to encrypt transactions in 128-bit
sessions - trillions of times stronger than 40-bit sessions.
Global companies that require international transactions over the web
can use global server certificates program to offer strong encryption
to their customers.
