Security Statement
Our website brings together a combination of industry-approved
security technologies to protect data for the bank and for you,
our customer. It features a VeriSign-issued Digital ID for the
bank's Internet Service Provider hosting our website, Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) protocol for data encryption, and a router and firewall
to regulate the inflow and outflow of server traffic.
Secure Data Transfer
Once a server session is established on an https
secure page, the user and the server are in a secured environment.
Because the server has been certified as a 128-bit secure server
by VeriSign, data traveling between the user and the server is
encrypted with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. With SSL,
data that travels between the bank and customer is encrypted and
can only be decrypted with the public and private key pair. In
short, the bank's server issues a public key to the end user's
browser and creates a temporary private key. These two keys are
the only combination possible for that session. When the session
is complete, the keys expire and the whole process starts over
when a new end user makes a server session.
Router and Firewall
Secure forms must filter through a router and firewall
before they are permitted to reach the server. A router, a piece
of hardware, works in conjunction with the firewall, a piece of
software, to block and direct traffic coming to the server. The
configuration begins by disallowing ALL traffic and then opens
holes only when necessary to process acceptable data requests,
such as retrieving web pages or sending customer requests to the
bank.
Using the above technologies, your Internet loan
application and check reorder transactions are secure. |
