CUSTOMER SECURITY & PRIVACY

   
Q. A. Whitney is very concerned about the security of access to Customers' information and has endeavored to provide an acceptable level of security. To access some of the functions provided, you will need to meet the minimum computer hardware and software requirements as noted in System Requirements. Minimum browser requirements maintain a 128-bit encryption, which provides a very strong level of security.
Q. A. Currently, we support access by Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01. Both of these browsers support 128-bit encryption. The "128" refers to the size of the key used to encrypt messages.
Q. A.

The main difference is that 128-bit encryption provides a significantly greater amount of cryptographic protection than 40-bit encryption. With the increasing computing power of potential criminals, it is becoming more necessary to employ larger keys, as evidenced by a recent study by several leading cryptographers.

In terms of what the numbers represent, "128" and "40" bit encryption refer to the size of the key used to encrypt the message. Roughly speaking, 128-bit encryption is 309,485,009,821,345,068,724,781,056 times stronger than 40-bit encryption. Presently, 40-bit encryption is not considered "strong" security in the cryptographic community. However, even taking into account Moore's Law, which states that computing power doubles about every 18 months, 128-bit encryption represents a very strong method of encryption for the foreseeable future.

Q. A. Since 1883, the Whitney has recognized and respected the privacy expectation of our customers and we understand our responsibility to treat customer information in an appropriate and confidential manner.
