First National Bank Online Banking Security Notice
The First National Bank of Bangor’s Online Banking website uses the
SSL protocol for security. SSL is an acronym for Secure Sockets
Layer, an encryption technology that was created by Netscape. SSL
creates an encrypted connection between a web server and your
computer’s web browser allowing for private information to be
transmitted without the problems of eavesdropping, data tampering,
or message forgery. The use of an SSL server certificate on a
website is usually indicated by a padlock icon in a web browser such
as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
Secure transmission of sensitive information on a web site such as
credit card numbers or personal information requires SSL
encryption. In order to use the SSL protocol, a web server requires
the use of an SSL certificate. SSL certificates are provided by
Certification Authorities (CA). A certificate authority is an entity
which issues digital certificates to organizations after validating
the existence and viability of the organization. This website uses
DigiCert as the CA.
