In addition, Apple FCU will utilize other elements in Comodo’s flagship S.A.F.E. Solution (Secure and Authenticated Financial Engagements) including High Assurance SSL certificates, email certificates and HackerGuardian to ensure that Apple members can experience increased verification and security in online banking. Apple FCU chose Comodo as its authentication partner because Comodo’s credentials and expertise as a Certification Authority uniquely qualify it to deliver new technology for ensuring mutual authentication.
