PLANET IKVM-8000 - Manual (Page 23)

In order to access the remote host system using a securely encrypted connection,
you need a browser that supports the HTTPS protocol. Strong security is only
assured by using a key length of 128 Bit. Some of the old browsers do not have a
strong 128 Bit encryption algorithm.
Using the Internet Explorer, open the menu entry “?” and “Info” to read about the
key length that is currently activated. The dialog box contains a link that leads you
to information on how to upgrade your browser to a state of the art encryption
scheme. The picture below shows the dialog box presented by the Internet Ex-
plorer 6.0.
Newer web browsers do support strong encryption on default.

line of your browser when establishing an unsecured connection:
