Security on PrivateEstateLife web sites |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
Security is a fundamental precondition for on-line information exchange
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
PrivateEstateLife has deployed a security system that ensures the integrity, confidentiality and reliability of data as well as user authentication. The security system that has been selected utilises 128 bits SSL encryption.
The security system together with the 128 bits SSL encryption provides strong authentication and secure access to the web site. When you connect to the secure web site, your identity is authenticated by your unique user number, a password and two random digits from your personal Code Card.
When you first connect to the system, you will be asked to change your initial password for your safety and privacy. Once you have logged on, the security of the information transmitted back and forth from our server to your computer is ensured by 128 bits SSL data encryption, which is the highest current standard for on-line data exchange and transaction processing.
