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 128-bit VeriSign Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which is one of the strongest encryption technologies. All confidential online sessions between you and MSIG Insurance (Hong Kong) Limited are protected upto a 128-bit encryption level.
11. What is a session time-out?
Once you start using the system, there is a time limit (20 mins) established for each page. If you take longer than the time limit to complete the page, you will need to re-login to the system. Information you have keyed in will be lost. As such, you are advised to save a proposal or working document periodically.
