Verisign WebSite Security
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.
