Data transferred is secured through use of 128-bit encryption technology and the use of the SSL protocol. With SSL, data that travels between the Bank and customer is encrypted and decrypted using public and private key pair methodology whereby the Bank s server issues a public key to the 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 initiates an Internet banking session. Firewall A firewall is a security mechanism that regulates the data going in and out of a computer network.
Data filters through a router and a firewall before it is permitted to reach the server.
A router works in conjunction with the firewall to block unauthorized and direct traffic coming to the server.
