Is the FreeBSD version crippled then? The standard *doze* export version of Netscape actually has full 128 bit encryption but only with certain keys. Banks in foreign (to the US) countries can buy certificates which will turn on this 128bit encryption for *their* transactions with the customer. So far as I was aware only Banks could get these keys. As I recall there was a hack for the Doze code that would turn on the 128 bit encryption for ALL communications.=20 regards, Ian On Sun, 31 Oct 1999 08:07:27 -0500 (EST), you wrote: >Gunnar, > >Check out Fortify for Netscape at www.fortify.net It provides 128-bit >security for export-grade browsers and is available for FreeBSD, as well >as many other platforms. > >Disclaimer: I've never used the product, but I've seen it recommended = on >many security related web sites (e.g., www.squirrel.com). > > >Eric Wayte, DBA >Univ. of Central Florida >ewayte@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu > >On Sun, 31 Oct 1999, Gunnar Flygt wrote: > >> Date: Sun, 31 Oct 1999 13:37:25 +0100 >> From: Gunnar Flygt <gunnar@pluto.sr.se> >> Reply-To: Gunnar Flygt <flygt@sr.se> >> To: FreeBSD Questions <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org> >> Subject: 128 -bit encrypted version of Netscape for Europe >>=20 >> Where can I get hold of a FreeBSD-runnable version of Netscape with >> strong encryption, in Europe? >>=20 >> My bank strongly advises me to use 128-bit version of Netscape.
