Site Security
What is SSL?
Encrypted 1003
The Encrypted 1003 utilizes secure socket layer (SSL), frequently referred to as "Netscape" encryption. This allows both Netscape and Microsoft
Explorer browsers to communicate with our server in a secure SSL encrypted session. It is often used to securely transfer credit card numbers and
other sensitive information.
Fraud Protection
These security features protect transactions from misappropriation and fraud that could otherwise occur as information passes through Internet
computers. Without thorough security, information transmitted over the Internet is susceptible to fraud and other misuse by intermediaries.
Complete Protection
The Internet does not provide built-in security. This is why our 1003 residential loan application is not e-mailed. To increase security and
privacy, we will be notified via e-mail of your completed 1003 application and we are required to access the completed 1003 via encryption, username,
and password. The SSL protocol delivers server authentication, data encryption, and message integrity.
How does it work?
Client/Server Protocols
SSL is layered beneath application protocols such as HTTP, Telnet, FTP, Gopher, and NNTP, and layered above the connection protocol TCP/IP. This
strategy allows SSL to operate independently of the Internet application protocols. With SSL implemented on both the client and server, your Internet
communications are transmitted in encrypted form, ensuring privacy. Due to this encryption process, documents that are encrypted may take longer to download.
Digital Certificates
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer deliver server authentication using signed digital certificates issued by trusted third parties known as
certificate authorities. A digital certificate verifies the connection between a server's public key and the server's identification (just as a driver's
license verifies the connection between your photograph and your personal identification). Cryptographic checks, which check digital signatures, ensure
that information within a certificate can be trusted.
Web Addresses
You can tell whether a document comes from a secure server by looking at the Universal Resource Locator (URL) field. If the URL begins with https://
(instead of http://), the document comes from a secure server. You need to use https:// for URLs with SSL and http:// for URLs without SSL.
What does a digital certificate do?
Public/Private Key Pairs
Digital Certificates are protected by public and private key pairs linked by a powerful cryptographic algorithm. These keys have the ability to
encrypt and decrypt information. No one else's keys can decipher messages you send that are encrypted with your public key. Also, no one else's keys can
be used to pose as you by sending messages encrypted with your private key.
