What security measures Burgan Online is using?

Burgan Online uses several different methods to protect your information:

Authentications:
User ID and passwords. User ID is a unique code that identifies you when you use Burgan Online. And passwords should not be less than 8 characters and should have a combination of numeric and alphabets that will be verified each time you log onto to your Burgan Burgan Online account. You can change your Login and Transaction password online at anytime.

Transaction password is a password to authorize financial transactions,  you have to enter this password each time you do a transaction.

Technology:
All information within Burgan Online uses the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol for transferring data. SSL is a cryptosystem that creates a secure environment using 128bit Cipher Strength for the information being transferred between your browser and Burgan Bank.

At a high level, SSL uses public key cryptography to secure transmissions over the Internet. In practice, your browser will send a message via SSL to the bank’s server. The bank responds by sending a certificate, which contains the bank’s public key. Your browser authenticates the certificate (agrees that the server is in fact Burgan Bank), then generates a random session key which is used to encrypt data traveling between your browser and the bank’s server. This session key is encrypted using the bank’s public key and send back to the server. The bank decrypts this message using its private key, and then uses the session key for the communication.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protects data in three key ways:

a) Authentication

This ensures that you are communicating with the correct server. This prevents another computer from impersonating Burgan Bank.

 b) Encryption

These scrambles transferred data.

 c) Automatic Sign Off:

If you do not take an action within 5 minutes, you are automatically signed off of Burgan Online to prevent passers-by from viewing your account information.
