This online banking solution brings together a combination of
industry-approved security technologies to protect data for the bank and for
you, our customer. It features a Tru-Secure Certification for the server,
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol for data encryption and a router loaded
with a firewall to regulate the inflow and outflow of server traffic.
* Secure Data Transfer: Once the server session is
established, the user and the server are in a secured environment.
Because the server has been certified as a 128-bit secure server by Tru-Secure,
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 user starts a server session.
* Router and Firewall: Requests must filter through a router
and firewall before they are permitted to reach the server. A router ( a
piece of hardware) works in conjuction 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 banking activities at this
site are secure.
