I need at least 128 bit encryption to access secure sites. What level of encryption does Firefox have and how do I check it?

Many banking sites require you to confirm that you have at least 128 bit encryption on your browser. I allowed a site to check the encryption on my browser (Firefox/Windows) and was told I didn't have at least 128 bit encryption. I'm not the most computer savvy, so I don't know how to check or increase encryption, so if someone could guide me, I'd really appreciate it.

Right-click on the web page and select '''View Page Info'''. The '''Security''' tab will show the level of encryption being used in "Technical Details" at the bottom of that tab.
Firefox matches the level of encryption used by any secure website, and will easily do more that 128-bit encryption.

  • How do I get 128-bit encryption in Firefox 4.0 for a financial website?

    I need 128-bit encryption capability on my web browser in order to use a specific financial website for bill paying, The site's encryption test shows that Firefox 4.0 (newly installed) does not provide that level of security. Help?

    I think the www.opm.gov site may be looking for the '''U''' that was in the Firefox 3.6 and earlier useragents as it was one of the things removed in Firefox 4.0 and newer useagents. The site says it recognizes the browser but does not detect that your web browser supports 128-bit high encryption which contradicts.
    The "U" stands for "USA" (for the version with 128-bit encryption) (since 1996).

  • I need firefox to support a 128 bit encryption for a website I need to use for work. How do I accomplish this?

    www.opm.gov/e-qip/ is a government site that I need to use to fill out a questionaire for employment. It says my web browser does not support a 128 bit encryption which it needs for the site to work properly. How do I increase the encryption bits?

    It is a warning that you can ignore.
    <blockquote>Warning - We did not detect that your web browser supports 128-bit high encryption. If you have trouble connecting after you click the "Continue" button below, you will need to upgrade your web browser to a version that supports 128-bit encryption.</blockquote>

  • I need 128 bit encryption to use a goverment site

    I need to go to this web site for a job app. it won't let me submit my information because it says I need 128 bit encryption

    Firefox does support 128 bit encryption, so you can ignore that warning on the browser check page.
    *http://www.opm.gov/e-QIP/browser-check.asp
    If websites complain about 128 bit encryption not available then that can be caused by the "U;" that is no longer present in the Firefox user agent.

    Firefox supports 256 bit encryption ciphers since Firefox 2 was released in 2002.

  • Download to support 128 bit encryption

    since trying to download 4.0 version I cannot open firefox at all and need 128 bit encryption that was available prior to 4.0

    Current Firefox releases can't even go below 128 bit, SSL2 that supported this have been removed quite a few releases now (Firefox 8 dropped support for SSL2).
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/8
    128 bit is the minimum that you can use with Firefox and you can only go higher (e.g. 168 or 256).<br />
    128 bit shouldn't be used these days and servers that only support 128 bit should update their software.
    Firefox supports AES-256 since 2002, so that is already more than 10 years.

  • XI - 128 Bit encryption

    Whether XI (3.0, SP 16) is capable of doing 128 bit SSL Encryption? We are in the process of making a bridge with our external partners (B2B).
    We want to install Certificates, and want to do the Encryption?
    Who will install the Certificates? From where we can buy these certificates?
    Who will do this process?
    What are all the other points that we need to remember when we do this 128 bit Encryption?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    SSL is supported by WebAS, and XI is just an application on top of it.  The certificates are entered using the Visual Administrator, and also in the ABAP environment, depending on whether you also plan to use it with the SOAP adapter.  The configuration is normally done by the basis person.
    128-bit is supported.  You can get certificates from various providers, e.g. Verisign.  To work with a partner who has an user certificate, that user will have to provide you with his public certificate.
    The XI Configuration Guide that comes with the installation CD have the instructions.  Also, you can access that following weblogs for additional info:

  • SSL, 128-bit encryption problem

    Hi
    I need to establish a connection over SSL with 128-bit encryption from my
    client application to Active Directory. But when a connection is established
    I look at the System log and see the cipher strength is only 56.
    Does anybody have an idea how can I raise the cipher strength?
    Thanks

    Sorry,
    It was my fault. I used 56-bit SDK. After upgrade all is perfect.

  • Upgrading to 128-bit encryption

    Hello,I would like to know what steps are necessary to upgrade to 128 bit SSL encryption from 40 bit?Currently we have a valid commercial license with key for Tengah/SSL, expiration=never.Any info is greatly appreciated.Thanks,Rick Ellmakeremail: [email protected]

    Hi Arshad,
    You have to make sure that you are using the domestic version of WLS(full
    strength) and when weblogic
    boots up it gets the correct license for SSL128. By any chance, if
    configuration is wrong it will spit out
    error message at srart up.
    (NOTE : make sure you use domestic version of Service pack if needed.)

  • Does Mozilla support 128-bit encryption?

    To use IRS Business Services Online (http://www.socialsecurity.gov/employer/bsohbnew.htm), 128-bit encryption is needed. They say:
    "To determine whether your browser supports 128-bit encryption, select Help/About from your browser menu. Most browsers will display the phrase ?128-bit encryption? or "128-bit cipher strength.? If you are unsure whether your browser supports 128-bit encryption, contact the software company that developed the browser."
    But I can't seem to find this information on the about page or in online articles about encryption. Would you please help?

    Current Firefox releases can't even go below 128 bit, SSL2 that supported this have been removed quite a few releases now (Firefox 8 dropped support for SSL2).

  • 128 bit encryption requirement not working

    Using S1 6.0 sp5 on solaris 8, connecting to WAS 4.5 application servers.
    The require 128 bit encryption setting is in obj.conf with an error page to serve if lower than 128 bit encryption is used.
    This works fine for all plain text html requests, however, when a request goes to the websphere application the encryption requirement is ignored.
    Has anyone seen anything of this nature before?

    I'm not using SiteMinder or weblogic, my suggestion was based on your problem description. If you can show us your obj.conf file, we can check and try to find out a solution. You are right, AuthTrans will come before PathCheck but this should still allow PathCheck stage functions to be processed when the request processing goes through the pathcheck stage....I don't know how SiteMinder implements the SAF though.
    Thanks

  • WRT54GS V7 128 BIT ENCRYPTION

    I just this morning bought a new wireless router, ran home and hooked it up.  I have had 3 other Lynksys (wired) routers in the past, do all my own work from mechanical to software and LAN.
    The initial setup went fine with the first desktop PC, running Windows XP Pro.  A second desktop set up fine, also running XP Pro.  I figured all would go fine with the laptop running the same thing.  However, after numerous times trying to setup a laptop with no joy, I had to call tech support. 
    The tech and went through all the settings and verified my work, just to find all was right (I knew it was, I had checked it so many times).  The encryption setting was to 128 bit.  She had me reset that to 64 bit and all is now functioning perfectly.  I have not had much experience with encryption problems before.
    So my questions are: 
    1. Is there a problem with the 128 bit encryption protocol in the router or in my laptop?
    2. Is this something to worry about?

    Answers to your question:
    1. there is no problem with your 128 bit protocol with the laptop nor the router. its just that 128 bit is a very long number and letters and it is case sensitive user might find a hard time trying to but it in next time. that is why 64 bit is oftenly used its for your own benefit. hehe
    2. and this is not something to worry about.
    PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE ;p

  • 128 bit encryption

    I am currently developing a web site.
    And one of the requirements is to enforce 128 bit encryption.
    We are currently using weblogic 6.0 sp1.
    If I try to connection our web site without 128 bit encryption on my IE 5,
    IE 5 just tells me that
    it could not find url.
    How could I check in http:// to see if user's browser is 128 bit encryption
    compatible?
    So that I can send them over to https:// with 128 bit encrytion or if they
    are not compatible,
    I can give a link to them to download patch.
    Please help.
    Thank you in advance.

    Safari does have 128 bit encryption; it's the web site that's been coded to sniff for certain browsers, like IE or Firefox. Complain to your bank and tell them to fix it so it works on all standards-compliant browsers, regardless of platform.

  • New iPad asks for WiFi password. There is none. My WiFi uses WEP 128 bit encryption, but there is no "password" to enter.

    Brand new to the iPad. It's asking for a password to the WiFi network in my home. There is no "password" as such associated with this WiFi network. It uses WEP 128 bit encryption where each byte is a hexadecimal number and is called a "key" Typing this lengthy thing in gives me no results. The iPad keeps on asking for a password. I have three computers and a DVD hooked to the network which has been working for a decade, so that's not the issue.
    Basically I'm stuck not being able to get onto the WiFi system.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Where can I get Messaging Server 3.5 with 128-bit encryption?

    Where can I get Messaging Server 3.5 with 128-bit encryption?
    <P>
    Messaging Server 3.5 is available for export (40-bit encryption)
    and domestic (128-bit encryption). The domestic version includes
    support for Fortezza.

    It can be updated from any computer with an Internet connection but is best done from the computer which it normally syncs with. The update itself is free; if you have someone do it for you, you may be charged.
