Bank of Alma Online Banking Security Notice
The Bank of Alma’s Online Banking website uses the
SSL protocol for security. SSL is an acronym for Secure
Sockets Layer,
an encryption technology that was created by Netscape. SSL
creates an encrypted connection between a web server and your
computer’s web browser allowing for private information to be
transmitted without the problems of eavesdropping, data tampering,
or message forgery. The use of an SSL server certificate on a
website is usually indicated by a padlock icon in a web browser such
as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
Secure transmission of sensitive information on a web site such as credit card
numbers or personal information requires SSL encryption.
In order to use the SSL protocol, a web server requires the use of
an SSL certificate. SSL certificates are provided by Certification
Authorities (CA). A certificate authority is an entity which issues
digital certificates to organizations after validating the existence
and viability of the organization. This website uses DigiCert as
the CA.
