128-Bit Encryption Required

As part of Eagle Bank and Trust Company of Missouri’s ongoing effort to increase the security of our website, all browsers accessing secure pages within our website, EFFECTIVE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 2003, your browser MUST support 128-bit encryption.

To determine if your browser supports 128-bit encryption, click on "Help" in the menu bar of your Internet browser and click on "About [browser name]". If the encryption or cipher strength listed in the pop-up box is not show as 128-bit, then you need to implement one of the solutions listed below.

For Internet Explorer:

• next to "Cipher Strength" you should see "128-bit".

For Netscape (versions 6.0 and above):

• the following text should appear: “This version supports high-grade (128-bit) security with RSA Public Key Cryptography.”

For Netscape (versions earlier than 6.0):

• the following text should appear: “This version supports International security”.

If your browser does not support 128-bit encryption, you will need to upgrade to a browser that does in order to continue to access secure pages of Eagle Bank and Trust Company of Missouri’s website (including Online Banking and Cash Management).

Recommended browsers include: Netscape Navigator (version 4.75 and up), Internet Explorer (version 5.0 or 6.0), and AOL (version 6, 7 or 8). Other browsers that support 128-bit encryption should also work.

Can I upgrade the encryption level of my browser without updating the browser version?

That depends on the browser and version you are currently using.

• Netscape browser versions earlier than 6.0 do not have a 128-bit encryption only upgrade. You must perform a full upgrade to a version of Netscape that supports 128-bit encryption and then specifically request the higher level of encryption.
• While our website is not certified with Netscape 6.0 and 7.0, these browser versions may work and allow you to download the SmartUpdate Plugin, which will update the browser to 128-bit encryption without upgrading to a new browser version.
• If you are using Internet Explorer 3.0 or earlier, you must perform a full upgrade to Internet Explorer Version 5.0 with 128-bit encryption.
• If you are using Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, you may perform a partial 128-bit encryption only upgrade by following the instructions below.
• AOL uses the Internet Explorer browser and is subject to the same conditions as Internet Explorer.

 

Internet Explorer: open Internet Explorer; click on Help on the menu bar; click on "Update Information" in the dialog box. This will take you to the MS Windows site which contains instructions for upgrading Internet Explorer or you can click on the following link.

If you are running Windows 2000 use this link:

The upgrade is simple and fairly quick. You will be required to restart your computer.

Netscape (versions earlier than 6.0): Verify your cipher strength, as some versions of 4.7 do not support 128-bit encryption. If the version you are using does not support it, download an updated version by clicking on the following link and following the instructions: http://browser.netscape.com/ns8

Netscape (version 6.0 and higher): Download the SmartUpdate Plugin by clicking on the following link and following the instructions: http://cgi.netscape.com/cgi-bin/su/intro.cgi
