I'm not in the US of A and the Netscape commerce server that my employer recently purchased has only 48bit key (as told by the salesman).
For exportable clients and servers, the symmectric keys for doing bulk encryption are 40 bits.
My question is whether it is possible to add-in my own security module (RSA)
The symmetric (RSA) keys are at least 512 bits.

Netscape cannot get permission to distribute software with "pluggable" crypto. This and the above restrictions are the result of U.S. regulations. PK -- Philip L.
