18. What is 128-bit encryption and how do I determine my web browser's encryption level? 
Information transmitted over the Internet can be scrambled in such a way that a key is required to unscramble it.  Information scrambled with 128-bit encryption technology has well over 339 trillion (2^128) possible key combinations.  For the math guru, breaking a 40-bit encryption would take about a week, it would take 72 million weeks (~1.4 million years to even break 56-bit encryption and significantly longer than the age of the universe to crack a 128-bit key.

To determine the encryption level for Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator you can click on the "Help" menu and select "About <Browser Name>."  For Internet Explorer look for "Cipher Strength: 128-bit" in the displayed window, for Netscape look for "This version supports high-grade (128-bit) security" in the displayed window.
