VeriSign is the recognized
leader in Internet security, so we decided to purchase their
programs.

PIN Security
|
Every member is responsible
for protecting the secrecy of their Personal Identification
Number (PIN). You should never give this number to anyone. The
credit union does not know your PIN and if you forget the number
you will need to contact the credit union to have a new one
issued.

About Cookies |
|
The terminology "cookie" is
used to describe a nugget of data that is stored on your hard
drive as a file. Cookies make it easier, quicker, and more
secure for you to log into and use the Active WebSite.
We use
a temporary cookie to verify who you are while using the Active
Website. Your privacy is not compromised by these cookies. The
cookie placed on your hard drive can only be used by your credit
union's Active WebSite. Cookies cannot be executed as code or
deliver viruses. In order to access our secure site, you must
allow the temporary cookie. The temporary cookie is removed
after you exit the secure site section.

About Encryption |
|
Encryption is a technical term
for scrambling meaningful text and numbers at one location and
transmitting them across the Internet to another location. The
encryption process uses complex algorithmic formulas to create a
key that is used to translate the information back into useable
content. There are billions of potential keys and a different
key is used for each Active WebSite session.
All confidential information sent to and requested by this
site is encrypted. The credit union submits the account
information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted network
transmissions. The encryption we currently use is 128-bit
encryption. This is extremely secure and the most compatible
encryption for world wide use. It has been estimated that this
level of encryption would take a 64-MIPS computer a year of
dedicated processor time to break.
