In past, there were no 128bit browser for international users. But, 40bit is very weak for financial service. So Korea chose plugin based internet banking and made own 128bit algorithm called SEED. Firstly, both NSPlugin and ActiveX were supported. After browser war, there is no market share of Netscape. So most of banks stop NSplugin.
The SEED goes to world standard.
