In Netscape Communicator, the padlock in the lower left corner of the Navigator window will be closed instead of open. Netscape users can also follow these steps to see what level of encryption is protecting their transactions with your site:
Go to the Web site you want to check.
Click the Security button in the Navigator's toolbar. The Security Info dialog box indicates whether the Web site uses encryption.
If it does, click the Open Page Info button to display more information about the site's security features, including the type of encryption used.
In Internet Explorer, a padlock icon appears in the bar at the bottom of the IE window. IE users can find out a Web site's encryption level by following these steps:
- Go to the Web site you want to check.
- Right-click on the Web site's page and select Properties.
- Click the Certificates button.
- In the Fields box, select "Encryption type." The Details box shows you the level of encryption (40-bit or 128-bit).
