128 bit Encryption

When I try to log into my bank's website with Safari I receive a message that I need to use a browser with at least 128 bit encryption. I thought Safari had 128 bit encryption. I am able to log in using Firefox.

Is there some setting I need to change in Safari, or is my bank's website simply not compatible with Safari?

Thanks

Safari does have 128 bit encryption; it's the web site that's been coded to sniff for certain browsers, like IE or Firefox. Complain to your bank and tell them to fix it so it works on all standards-compliant browsers, regardless of platform.
