Comodo, a provider of identity and trust assurance services on the internet, has created ‘See, Verify, Trust’ technology which will confirm the legitimate content of Boiling Springs Savings Bank’s website.
Comodo says by using its SVT technology, the bank’s web content can now easily be authenticated as the real thing. The technology further claims to take a proactive rather than reactive approach to phishing enabling the bank to better protect critical customer information in online banking transactions.
Similar to secure sockets layer certificates, SVT technology is delivered through content verification certificates (CVC), which are created, distributed, and revoked using proven public key infrastructure methods to provide the highest level of security for web page content.
Yet, CVCs also enhance the security levels provided by SSLs by adding a pertinent component to the online experience trust. By applying CVCs to specified content, such as the Boiling Springs Savings Bank logo, log-in boxes and rate pages, consumers can verify if the content is genuine by dragging their mouse cursor over these items.
If the site is authentic, a bright green border will outline the internet interface window. In order to make this work, consumers need to simply download Comodo’s free VerificationEngine software from its web site
Ken Emerson, Boiling Springs Savings Bank’s chief information and technology officer said, Protecting our customer’s identity is always a top priority for Boiling Springs Savings Bank. We want our customers to know they can trust us to provide a secure environment in both the real and virtual worlds for their financial transactions.
