Security Statement
Autobenefits
recognizes that preserving the integrity of your personal and account
information is critical. We also realize that offering our Web-based
services to you in a secure environment is fundamental to our continued
success. In order to accomplish this, we employ several devices
that enable us, among other benefits, to authenticate your identity
when you access our services and safeguard your information as it
traverses the Internet between your PC and Autobenefits.
Autobenefits
requires the use of secure browsers to protect your privacy while
accessing our online financial services. Specifically, the personal
and account data that is conveyed between your PC and Autobenefits
must be encrypted during transmission - secure browsers are effective
tools used to achieve and maintain this level of protection. Encryption
is the process of scrambling information (typically for data transmission)
so it can only be reconfigured in its original format by someone
with access to the appropriate encryption key. In this instance,
your personal information will be encrypted during its transmission
to us, and only Autobenefits will have the ability to decrypt it.
Autobenefits
uses Secure Socket Layer 3.0 to ensure you are accessing the actual
Autobenefits.com server and not an imitation. Our server sends Autobenefits.com's
public key to your browser program before you log on to our site.
Secure Socket Layer enables you to verify the identity of a server
by viewing the site's certificate. A certificate is a means of associating
a public key to a name. By viewing our certificate on the first
page of our online application or login screen through your browser,
you can confirm you are logged on to the Autobenefits.com server.
Once
Secure Socket Layer has authenticated the server, your browser and
our server will establish a confidential symmetric key. This symmetric
key allows the exchange of encrypted data between your browser and
our server and, as a precautionary measure, its validation is restricted
to a single occurrence. Therefore, if you log out and later choose
to log on to Autobenefits.com again, your browser and our server
will automatically generate a different symmetric key. By continually
changing with every attempt to log on to our site, the symmetric
key will ensure all of your communications with Autobenefits.com
are preserved intact.
