What is 128-bit Secure Socket Layer?

It is a secure session protocol used to encrypt sessions between


browsers and the web server to prevent sensitive application data
being intercepted. SSL provides a secure channel for data
transmission over the Internet. It allows for the transfer of digital
signatures to authenticate users and provides message integrity,
ensuring that your data cannot be altered on route. Browsers can
also display a certificate to the user about the source of a secure
transmission.

This

assures

Internet

users

that

they

are

communicating with the financial institution's service provider


and not a third party trying to intercept the transaction on the
Internet.
Applications that use this protocol know how to encrypt and
decrypt data traveling between two SSL ends. To send an SSL
connection, however, or to open a secure connection, your
application must first have an encryption key assigned to it by
a Certification Authority. Once it has a unique key of its own,
you can establish a secure connection with every other
application that can "speak" the SSL protocol.
Top

How can I enable my browser to use 128-bit encryption?


Depending upon the browser you are using you can check
whether 128-bit SSL is being used in the following ways:
9 Microsoft Internet Explorer

Move your mouse over the security lock icon at


the Lower-right corner. A tool-tip of "SSL secured
(128-bit)" should pop up if you are connected using
128 Bit SSL; OR
From the 'File' menu in the toolbar, select
'Properties'. "Connection" with "SSL 3.0, RC4 with
128-bit encryption (High); RSA with 1024 bit
exchange" is shown if you are connected using 128
Bit SSL.
9 Netscape Navigator
Click 'Security' in the toolbar. A Security Info'
window will be displayed. Click Open page info.
The message displayed should be: "This is a secure
document that uses a high-grade encryption key for
US domestic use only (RC4, 128-bit)"
If you find that 128-bit encryption is NOT being used in the Netscape
Navigator browser, you should configure the settings in the browser
to ensure 128-bit encryption.
Click 'Security' in the toolbar
Click 'Navigator' in the left column
Click 'Configure SSL v3' on the right of Enable SSL (Secure
Sockets Layer) v3'
Enable all ciphers except 'No encryption with an MD5 MAC'.

Top

What is a Digital Certificate and how does it help to ensure


Security?
Digital certificates are issued by certification authorities to
authenticate a Web site or elements of Web sites. The certificate
identifies the originator of the site, or element, and verifies that
it has not been tampered with. When your Web browser is
presented with a certificate, it will check to see if a legitimate
certification authority issued the certificate. If there is a match,
your session will continue. Otherwise, your browser will issue
a warning and your safest action is to cancel your activity
Top

What is a firewall and how does it protect my information?


A firewall is a system or group of systems that enforces an
access control policy between two networks. It is used to protect
the system and the information. Our firewalls use a
combination of industrial strength computer hardware and
software that is designed to securely separate the Internet from
our Internal Web servers, computer systems, networks and
databases. During your secure online sessions firewalls prevent
unauthorized Internet traffic from entering our Web servers,
systems and network.
Top

How can I recognize that the web page is secured?


Check the two indications
Is the URL start with https? Generally the URL of
websites starts with http. But for our Internet Banking it
starts with https.

Is the LOCK icon present in the lower-right corner of the


browser window? It is the de facto standard among web
browsers. You can see the sites security details on
clicking the LOCK icon.

Top

How is my information transmitted safely over the Internet?


Web browsers use standard security protocols like SSL, and SHTTP for secure transmission of private information over the
Internet. When you visit a Web site with the SSL protocol, a
secure connection is created between your computer and the
Web site server you are visiting. Once this connection is
established, you can transmit any amount of information to the
Web server safely. In contrast, the S-HTTP is designed to
transmit individual messages.
Top

How can I recognize a spam e-mail?

Fake emails ask you for your personal security details such as
A/C number, Credit card number, passwords and PIN
numbers etc. It appears to be from a legitimate source. Some
fake mails promise prizes or offers job. Some fake mails direct
you to counterfeit sites. Very often these fake mails may contain
some spelling mistakes in URL.
Top

What should I do if my Internet Explorer frequently hangs?


Upgrade your browser with most recent fixes and patches
from Microsoft. Keeping your browser updated is also
important for the smooth running of the Internet Banking
facility.
Top

ANNEXURE 2 (E)

SAFETY & PROTECTION FROM FRAUDS


Beware of the Different types of Frauds:
Online Frauds

Online fraud occurs when someone poses as a legitimate company / link in order to
obtain sensitive personal data and illegally conducts transactions on your existing
accounts. The most current methods of online fraud are usually through fake emails,
Web sites

and pop-up windows.

Phishing:
Phishing is a technique used for illegally capturing the personal information such as
Account Number, Internet Banking Passwords etc. The most frequently used method is
to send spam mails to the users e-mail id. The Spam mail exactly looks like an e-mail
sent by a legitimate authority. The e-mail simply asks the recipient to click on a link and
enter their user id and password.
Never click on any such link and never enter your login id and password
without verifying the authenticity of the web page. Also never copy link
address and paste in the browser to open the website.
Your email address can be obtained from publicly available sources or through randomly
generated lists. Therefore, if you receive a fake email that appears to be from Allahabad
Bank, it does not mean that your email address, name, or any such information has
been taken / derived from our system.
IMPORTANT: Allahabad Bank does not ask for personal security details like
your Internet banking or phone banking passwords on the email, phone or
otherwise.
Never disclose your password to anyone, not even to the bank's staff.
In case you get an email asking you to enter your personal security details or a Bank
staff approaches you to disclose your password, please report to us. You can send an
email to customercare@allahabadbank.co.in
Be cautious about the fake e-mails asking for your personal security details.
Some fake e-mails may offer jobs or prize and you may be asked to provide your
personal information such as credit card number, PIN number, passwords etc. Never get
lured by such emails.
Some fake emails may also contain a virus known as a Trojan Horse that can record
your keystrokes or could trigger background installations of key logging software or
viruses onto your computer. The virus may be in an attachment or can be activated via a
link in the email.

You should not respond or download or click on link or attachment on these


unsolicited mails without verifying the authenticity. Fake mails may direct you
to counterfeit website which looks like your valid site.
Offline Fraud
Offline fraud incidents take place as a result of theft of your mail, sensitive information
related to your bank or credit card accounts, stolen ATM / Debit / Credit cards, forged/
stolen Cheques etc. You can protect yourself from such instances by exercising caution
while receiving, storing and disposing your account statements as well as your
Passwords, PIN numbers, Cheques, ATM /Debit, and Credit Cards.
Cyber Cafe Security
Avoid the use of Cyber Caf or sharing PCs for your Online Banking. When you

details.
It is a technique employed by scamsters to illegally procure personal
information like account numbers, Internet banking user ids and
passwords, etc. from a legal possessor of such information. Hence it
is a method of illegally capturing personal security data.
'Phishing' attempts usually appear in the form of an email appearing
to be from your bank. Within the email you are then usually
encouraged to click a link to a fraudulent log on page designed to
capture your details. Your email addresses can be obtained from
publicly available sources or through randomly generated lists.
Therefore, if you receive a fake email that appears to be from
Allahabad Bank, it does not mean that your email address, name, or
any such information has been taken / derived from our systems.
Although they can be difficult to spot, phishing' emails generally ask
you to click on a link which takes you back to a spoof web site that
looks similar to your bank's website, wherein you are asked to
provide, update or confirm sensitive personal information. To prompt
you into action, such emails may signify a sense of urgency or
threatening condition concerning your account.
IMPORTANT: Allahabad Bank does not ask for personal
security details like your Internet banking or phone banking
passwords on the email, phone or otherwise.
