 Communicator 128-bit Update |
| When it comes to online security, strong encryption is the key. Netscape's browser has long lagged behind Internet Explorer, offering only 56-bit encryption, while Microsoft offers a 128-bit option. Though neither of these encryption strength are crackproof, many online commerce sites will only do business with you if your browser sports the larger encryption key. At last, Netscape is offering a 128-bit version of Communicator (still version 4.61, at press time). To update your copy, choose Help-Software Updates and select the "12MB browser 128 update" in SmartUpdate's Select Software step. | Category:Hardware + Bugs and Fixes Issue: January 2000 |
