Subject: Funky Cipher Strength???
From: Tobin Craig (tcraigSWALES.COM)

All:

I have a user on my network who is using Internet Explorer 5 on an NT 4.0
Workstation, SP5.
The "about" page for IE5 said that the cipher strength was 0 (zero) bits.
I'm confused.

1. What is a 0 bit cipher strength?
2. I thought IE5 offered only 56 bit or 128 bit cipher strength. How would
one override this?
3. His version number is 5.00.2919.6307IC I've tried to find out what the
"IC" refers to, since
this version number doesn't appear on any of our other systems. Any clues?

I'd really appreciate some help on this, either on or off list. THANKS!
