Security Protocols

Security protocols are used to communicate securely with sites where sensitive data, such as credit card information, is involved.
If you want to use only Web services with strong security, you can disable SSL 2, SSL 3, and ciphers below 128 bits to prevent connections to less secure Web services. Note, however, that this is likely to cause many such services to malfunction.
Note: When you are on sites using security protocols, a yellow security bar will be displayed inside the address field. In addition to a padlock icon that signals the level of security present, you will also see the name of the organization that the certificate is registered to. Click the bar for additional information.
