Security and Intuit products

All Internet browsers provide some level of data security. A 40-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is typical for most browsers available worldwide and is adequate for most common data transfer situations. Everyone has recognized that the transfer of sensitive financial data requires the highest level of security available. Aside from encryption coding used by national security agencies, the highest level of Internet data transmission security is 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer). All financial institutions and Internet-capable software suppliers have accepted the 128-bit SSL standard. Further, Internet browsers that enable 128-bit SSL encryption are prohibited from export outside the U.S. and Canada by U.S. government regulations. Intuit products can connect to the Internet using most browsers on the market today, including Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator/Communicator.
