| Encryption is based on a key that has two different parts; the public part and the private part. The public part of the key is distributed to those you want to communicate with. The private part is for the recipient's use only. When you send personal information to secure.bfsfcu.org, you use BFSFCU’s public key to encrypt your personal information. That means, if at any point during the transmission your information is intercepted, it is scrambled and very difficult to decrypt. Once BFSFCU receives your encrypted personal information, we use the private part of our key to decode it. |
