Verifying Your Browser Encryption Capability

To verify the capability of your browser, go to the Verisign browser check. The browser check will help you determine whether you need to upgrade your browser encryption capabilities.

To verify that SchoolHouse.com is using SSL encryption, point your browser to the login page. Note the following:

*	The SSL protocol is now in use. The "https" portion of the URL in the browser address window (see 3a in figure below) indicates the SSL protocol.
*	An encrypted session has been established, indicated by the closed padlock icon on your browser's status bar (4a in figure below). An open icon identifies an unencrypted browser session.

To verify the encryption protocol in Navigator, right-click the SchoolHouse.com login page. From the pop-up menu, select View Page Info (see 5 in figure below).

From the Page Info page, select the Security tab. Click on the View button (see 6 in figure below) to view the certificate information.
