High Encryption Requirements

Depending on your configuration, an IOTA session may automatically start as part
of the installation/activation process. IOTA requires high-security 128-bit
encryption to establish a secure Internet connection to the CDMA network.
If you are running Windows XP, your computer should already include high-
security 128-bit encryption.
If you are running Windows 2000 with Internet Explorer
1. Ensure you have installed the Windows 2000 High Encryption Pack: in Internet
Explorer, select Help > About Internet Explorer.
If you see "Cipher Strength: 128-bit," then the High Encryption Pack is
installed. Proceed to step 2.
If the High Encryption Pack is not installed, download and install it
(www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/recommended/encryption).
2. If your version of Internet Explorer is earlier than 5.5, download and install the
latest version (www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads).
If you are running Windows 2000 with Netscape Communicator
Ensure your version of Netscape Communicator is 4.7 or higher.

In Netscape Communicator, select Help > About Communicator.

If the next paragraph states "This version supports U.S. security," you have
128-bit security.
If the paragraph states that you have International security, you have 40-bit
security. Download a version that supports 128-bit security.
