At Aetna, we make protecting the confidentiality and privacy of your health information a top priority. That is why we have developed a registration process that validates you as an authorized user of your Secure Health Website. To access your Secure Health Website, you must use a browser with 128-bit encryption. Your browser will be checked for 128-bit encryption when you start your registration. It is important to understand that despite these safeguards, no security process, ours or anyone else's, is 100% foolproof. We continually review our security processes against industry standards, modifying them as required to help protect your information.
What is encryption?
- Encryption scrambles data into unintelligible characters based on a secret key.
- Encryption increases the level of security for the information you send from your browser over the Internet to your Secure Health Website.
Most browsers support a minimum level of 40-bit encryption, as well as a stronger 128-bit encryption level. To better protect your information, your Secure Health Website site only supports 128-bit Web browser encryption.
Browser support
Aetna Navigator is best viewed with the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer 7.0
- Internet Explorer 6.0
- Firefox 3.0 (a free browser that works with the PC and Macintosh platforms)
We currently do not support the Safari browser, due to technical limitations with Safari which prevent certain features from displaying correctly in Aetna Navigator.
