A question that I could not seem to find a direct answer to:
I have IE8 32 and IE8 64 running on WIN7 64 with Norton Internet Security 2010. Both show a cipher strength of 256 under Help/About. When I run a cipher test on a site like Fortify.net it shows both as running a 128 cipher, not 256. I have tried different adjustments to TLS and SSL settings as well as Security Level and I tried using Compatibility Mode with the same result.
PC is running fine and don't have any issues with accessing networks or Banking sites but I find this scenario very peculiar and frankly annoying. Is there's something I should adjust settings wise? Does IE8 revert to 128 under certain circumstances? Why is IE8 not using a 256 cipher when it says it is 256?
