If you check their WWW page, you will find information on the Secure Sockets Layer. It explains the algorythm used (RC4) and key size (40 bits).
SSL allows a number of choices for both algorithm and key size. See http://home.mcom.com/info/SSL.html. The version of Netscape you can pick up from our FTP server only implements 40-bit RC4 -- the 40-bit part resulting from standard export restrictions. We have implemented and will be shipping clients and servers with 128-bit RC4 and other configurations. Cheers, Marc -- Marc Andreessen Netscape Communications Corp. Mountain View, CA marca@mcom.com
