Background

The Bank wishes to provide its customers with the highest levels of security when transacting over the internet. To ensure the security and integrity of these services we provide a Digital Identification Service. Customers applying for the services that use PKI require to register for and be provided with Digital Identity Smartcards that will be used in conjunction with the service. These Smartcards hold a 'certificate' within the chip, which stores personal details uniquely identifying the cardholder, such as:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Employer
  • Who it was issued by
  • When it is valid from / to.

The Digital Identification Service uses security technology to address each of the following principles:

Confidentiality - transmissions sent must be protected in transit and only readable by the intended recipient.

Authentication - it must be possible for the recipient to positively identify the sender of a transmission in real-time.

Integrity - it must be verified that a transmission received is the same as the transmission originally sent.

Non-repudiation - if the above have been ensured, once a transmission is received and processed, the sender cannot claim they did not originate and send the transmission.

 

Key Management - PKI

The use of PKI enables a secure exchange of digital signatures in open networks where many communication partners are involved.
