    SSL encryption, whats maximum possible?

    Ive just been talking to a bloke who recons his site is protected by 256bit encryption. As far as I was aware the maximum available was 128bit so is he full of rubbish or am I in the dark?

    Oh and he also recons this is how he acheived it http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Cryptoloop-HOWTO/

    In Firefox my website reads it is protected by (AES-256 256bit) and on some websites it reads (RC4 128bit).

    As far as I can figure it seems some certificates and browsers (such as Firefox) are capable of more while MSIE still only supports 128bit and down.
