Security and Online Banking
This Internet banking system uses
industry-standard technology including password-controlled entry, Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, data encryption, public-private key pair,
firewalls and filtering routers to secure your transactions over the Internet.
Each security component acts as a layer of protection to safeguard sensitive
data from unauthorized users.
Password-controlled access
First, this system requires customer identification through a private user name and password before you can get into the front-end of the system. You should keep this password and user name absolutely private.
Transmission security: encryption
Once you have logged on correctly,
you will enter a secure environment in which you can conduct your transactions.
The browser automatically secures the session using Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) protocol. With SSL, data that travels between the bank and customer
is encrypted and can only be decrypted with what is called the public
and private key pair. Data that is encrypted with the public key can be
decrypted only with the private key. Conversely, data encrypted with the
private key can be decrypted only with the public key.
Information privacy: firewalls and filtering routers
Finally, once requests arrive at the bank the server is protected by a
series of firewalls and filtering routers which verify the source and
destination of the requests traveling in information packets. The firewall
is set up to reject any unauthorized traffic. This reemphasizes the importance
of the password, which is the only legitimate entry into the program.
The purpose of the router is to keep out traffic that does not emanate
from one of the only two legitimate ends of a secured transaction: the
customer or the bank.
