SMARTLINK provides secure
communications using 128-bit encryption security.
SMARTLINK requires the use of a
browser which supports at least 128-bit encryption. The browser that you are
running determines which level of security that will be used for your
connection. If you are currently using a 40-bit encryption browser you will need
to upgrade to a more secure 128-bit encryption browser, you can download the
browser from either Netscape or Microsoft.
Your Passcode is used to authenticate
you each time you log on to SMARTLINK. The confidentiality of your accounts is
maintained as the data is passed from our host to your personal computer in an
encrypted format, where your browser then decodes the information for you to
view. This prevents data from being intercepted by an unauthorized party.
Virginia Beach Schools FCU uses secure
firewalls to ensure that no unauthorized access is permitted. These firewalls
have been tested by an independent professional consulting service firm to
ensure that they cannot be breached. Every effort has been made to ensure that
this system is as secure as possible.
