Why we require 128-bit encryption

The use of 128-bit data encryption has become the standard for protecting financial information on the Web.

This level of encryption helps to assure that your confidential information is secure when the data is transmitted.

For this process to be effective, both the sending and receiving parties must use the same level of encryption.

The Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) uses industry-standard SSL encryption to protect data transmissions.  A closed lock image, usually displayed in the bottom bar of your browser, indicates when SSL is in effect on a page or form.  This is a visual confirmation that you may safely and securely conduct business electronically with DOR.

We provide information on how to find out if you have a 128-bit browser, and where to get 128-bit browsers.
