What is SSL?
SSL is an acronym, which stands for Secure Socket Layer. Netscape Corporation has created the best-known secure server technologies. It uses a security protocol called Secure Socket Layer, which provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. When a client program connects with a secure server, they exchange a “handshake” which initiates a secure session. With this protocol, the same server system can run both secure and insecure web servers simultaneously. This means an organization or company can provide some information to all users using no security, and other information that is secured. For example, a business that sells products online can have their storefront (merchandise catalog) unsecured, but ordering and payment documents or forms can be secure.
-
What is encryption?
Encryption software acts like the cable converter box on your television set. It scrambles the data with a secret code so that no one can make sense of it while it’s being transmitted. When the data reaches its destination, the same software unscrambles the information.

Why is special security part of the Cash Management system?
The Cash Management system allows a business customer of First United Bank to make ACH payments, wire transfers and payroll transactions. Some businesses have different employees who fulfill the various transactions for an account. The cookie that is placed on a PC for Cash Management purposes will insure that an employee performs their job functions at the same PC every day. They will be unable to log in from home and make transfers. This security is an added benefit to commercial customers.

Why does Cash Management use cookies?
