10. What is encryption? How is encryption used to protect my information?

Encryption is a method of scrambling your information to protect its security during transmission across the Internet. Encryption transforms data into an unreadable form, and decryption reverses that process. Both encryption and decryption require the use of a special code, usually referred to as a key. The encryption of data provides a strong degree of protection against tampering while data is moving through the Internet. Encryption protects your information against disclosure to third parties. Our Website employs the 2048-bit VeriSign Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which is one of the strongest encryption technologies. All confidential online sessions between you and MSIG are protected up to a 2048-bit encryption level.

11. What is an auto time-out?

An auto time-out occurs when the system is left idle for 15 minutes. A message is displayed on screen to notify you of the auto log-out and require the user to re log-in. Information keyed in in an incomplete transaction will be lost once the auto time-out occurs and the user requires to key in again.
