128-Bit Encryption

40-bit encryption is the basic minimum standard found in most browser products. Your browser probably uses 40-bit encryption unless you have specifically obtained 128-bit encryption. 128-bit encryption is the strongest, most secure form of encryption that is generally available in Internet browsers on the market today. Books for Pleasure requires that their readers use 128-bit encryption when conducting financial business over the Internet. We also recommend the use of 128-bit encryption for all non-financial transactions over the Internet, e.g. the completion of forms containing personal information. After all downloads you may be prompted to restart your computer.
