Web 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 less than 128-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.
