IP Internet Explorer: 1995-2021

| Some of us in the web community really wish Internet Explorer would die. It 
| makes web designers’ lives a pain, and it makes users’ computers less secure. 
| So you might be glad to know that Internet Explorer is dying: really, really, 
| really slowly.

A couple things I forgot to mention about IE 8, no strong encryption for you.

| It seems that in an effort to hawk Vista, 2008, and 7 off as “more secure”,
| Microsoft bumped Internet Explorer up to support for 256-bit AES encryption…
| sites like Newegg and most banks now support logging in with this and it
| should be pretty much impossible to crack (barring some horrible
| vulnerability discovered in it obviously).
|
| But Microsoft is still refusing to upgrade the cryptography engine of IE 8
| for XP/2003 and users of these systems are stuck with the older 128-bit
| encryption.
|
| The problem with this of course is that computing power has increased a lot
| since 2001 and even such novel things as using GPU (graphics processing
| units) to run extremely complex calculations is now possible. Obviously
| 128-bit is starting to seem a little weak.
