Attention PC Finance/Online Bill Payment Users:
All browsers require 128-bit encryption when accessing secure pages within our website. This is part of our ongoing effort to increase the security of our website. To determine if your browser supports 128-bit encryption, click on "Help" in the toolbar of your Internet browser and click on "About [browser name]". A pop-up box or window will display. For Internet Explorer - Next to "Cipher Strength" you should see "128- bit". For Netscape – the following text should appear: "This version supports high-grade (128-bit) security with RSA Public Key Cryptography." If your browser does not support 128-bit encryption, you will need to upgrade to a browser that does in order to continue to access secure pages of the website. Recommended browsers include: Netscape Navigator 4.75, Internet Explorer 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0, and AOL 6, 7 or 8, but other browsers that support 128-bit encryption may also work.

Can I upgrade the encryption level of my browser without updating the browser version?

Netscape browser versions earlier than 6 do not have a 128-bit encryption only upgrade. You must perform a full upgrade to a version of Netscape that supports 128-bit encryption and then specifically request the higher level of encryption.

While our website is not certified with Netscape 6 and 7, these browser versions may work and allow you to download the SmartUpdate Plugin, which will update the browser to 128-bit encryption without upgrading to a new browser version.

If you are using Internet Explorer 3 or earlier, you must perform a full upgrade to Internet Explorer Version 5 with 128-bit encryption.

If you are using Internet Explorer 4 or later, you may perform a partial 128-bit encryption only upgrade by following the instructions below.

AOL uses the Internet Explorer browser and is subject to the same conditions as Internet Explorer.

What do I need to do to upgrade?

--Internet Explorer

In Internet Explorer, click on Help and select About Internet Explorer. The window that pops up should say "Cipher Strength: 128-bit". If it does not, clicking on "Update Information" will take you to the link below, which contains instructions for upgrading Internet Explorer: If you are running Windows 2000, you can access this link: The upgrade is simple and fairly quick. You will be required to restart your computer.

--Netscape (versions earlier than 6)

Verify your cipher strength, as some versions of 4.7 do not support 128-bit encryption. If the version you are using does not support it, download an updated version by clicking on the following link and following the instructions:

--Netscape (version 6 and higher)
