10 Section 1B: Getting Started With Your Card
High Encryption Requirements (Windows)
Depending on your configuration, an IOTA (Internet Over The Air) session may
automatically start as part of the installation process. IOTA requires high-security
128-bit encryption to establish a secure Internet connection to the CDMA
network. (For more information, see “Data Provisioning [IOTA]” on page 34.)
If you are running Windows Vista or 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.
To verify that your version supports 128-bit encryption:
1. In Navigator, select Help > About Navigator.
– or –
In Netscape Communicator, select Help > About Communicator.
2. See the section “Contains encryption software from RSA Data Security, Inc.”
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.
