Browser Security
Protecting your information begins with your browser.
We recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or above, or Netscape Communicator version 7.0 or above. For Macintosh users we recommend using the latest version of Safari. All of these browsers provide encryption technology to keep your financial information private.
If you would like to check the version of your browser, click on the Help menu within your browser, and select About. In the window that pops up, you will see the Cipher strength you are currently using. The Cipher strength of 128-bit encryption is needed to receive the highest level of protection available for Internet communications, including credit card use and financial transactions.
Encryption is the way your browser translates everything that you send into a code that can only be deciphered by our computers at the State Farm®. Communication containing confidential information between State Farm and its customers is encoded using the most recent release of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology with encryption keys of up to 128 bits.
During any secure transaction with our company you can verify encryption key strength by clicking on the lock or key icon located at the bottom or your browser window.
If your Cipher strength is less than 128-bit, you will need to update your browser. To upgrade your browser, click one of the following:
