At
Montgomery Mortgage
Capital,we take security seriously
and we are committed to protecting your information.
Below are precautions we take to ensure that your data
and personal information remain private and secure.We
strive to implement the latest industry standard
security as the technology becomes available.
How is my data transmitted?
All personal data taken
during the online application is encrypted for your
protection using an industry standard security
technology called Secure Socket Layer (SSL). This
prevents any unauthorized person on the Internet from
seeing your information.
What is encryption?
Encryption is the process
where intelligible information is turned into
unintelligible but meaningful data. For example: a
phrase like "My social security number is..." is
transformed into "Blue Dream American", a meaningless
phrase. If this information was being transmitted
between computers with encryption, during transmission
it might look like "Blue Dream American", a meaningless
phrase to anyone other than the two computers involved.
How does encryption work?
Everything that travels
through the Internet during your online session at Montgomery Mortgage
Capital, from your password to your loan
application, becomes a string of unrecognizable numbers
before entering the Internet. Both Montgomery Mortgage
Capital's
computers and the browser you use to surf the
Web understand how to turn your data into numeric code
and back again into meaningful information. This
mechanism serves as locks on the doors of your
loan/financial information. While Montgomery Mortgage
Capital,and your computer can easily
translate this code back to meaningful language, this
process would be a daunting, almost impossible task for
unauthorized intruders. That's because there are
billions of possible keys that could potentially
transform your information -- but only one that will
work. Each time you begin a secure session, your
computer and Montgomery Mortgage
Capital's systems agree on a
random number that serves as the key for the rest of the
conversation. What that random number could be depends
largely on the strength of encryption your browser
utilizes.
What's the difference between
domestic-grade encryption and international-grade
encryption?
The difference between
these two types of encryption is one of capability.
Domestic-grade encryption is exponentially more powerful
than international-grade encryption. Think of it this
way:
40-bit encryption, also
called international-grade encryption, means(that could
fit into the lock that holds your account information).
That means there are many possible keys.
128-bit encryption, also
called domestic-grade encryption, means key combinations
are for 40-bit encryption. That means a computer would
require exponentially more processing power than for
40-bit encryption to find the correct key.
How do I know if my online session is
encrypted?
Your online loan
application data is encrypted when the locked padlock
icon appears in the lower left corner of your screen in
either Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Netscape's
Navigator (4.0 or higher).
When not in a secure
session, Netscape's padlock appears broken and
Microsoft's is not shown.
What type of encryption do I need?
Montgomery Mortgage
Capital,uses 128-bit encryption for its
online secure services. If you are using Netscape
Navigator 3.0 or higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer
3.01 or higher, you already are using the most secure
encryption technology allowed by law in the United
States, and can take full advantage of our secure online
services.
How do you protect your data
(Firewalls)?
Montgomery Mortgage
Capital,protects all persistent data
behind a firewall. A firewall is a set of specialized
software and hardware that prevents unauthorized access
to your data. It acts as a security guard to your
personal information.
