Being outside North America, I have an "export" version of
Internet Explorer/Netscape Navigator. These offer 40 bit
encryption. (40 bit RC4, I understand).
My financial institution has a 128 bit Verisign certificate.
To my surprise, they claim this offers 128 bit encryption to /me/.

I thought my 40 bit client limited the security to 40 bits.
Who is right? Please explain.
TIA
