Why do I receive a Security Alert message about security certificates when accessing the Online Banking page?
A security certificate (or digital certificate) is the electronic equivalent of passport — it verifies that a web server is who it claims to be. Security certificates are issued by an entity known as a certificate authority. The certificate authority’s role is to act as a trusted clearinghouse that can verify the authenticity of a certificate. When an Internet user attempts to send confidential information to a web server, the user’s browser will access the server’s security certificate, verify it with the certificate authority, then use it to establish a secure connection.
