Tandem
is committed to maintaining a secure environment for users of
Tanqaa. Tanqaa is hosted in an environment that uses a
firewall and other mechanisms to prevent unauthorized
intrusion. The key features of Tandem's security implementation
are as follows. |
|
|
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) |
Tandem
uses 128-bit SSL, an encryption technology, commonly used by
organizations worldwide to conduct secure online
transactions. Encryption is a method of scrambling
information to protect its transmission across the Internet.
The SSL technology, by way of data encryption and server
authentication, ensures that user information is available
only to authorized users. For logging into Tanqaa you will
have to enter the user ID, Company ID and password which
have been provided to you. The web page on which you are
required to enter these details is a secure page. When your
browser opens a secure page, the website address starts with
"https://" rather than "http://". Also, when a session is
secure, you would see a "lock" icon, typically in the bottom
right of your browser window frame. |

Login
Information |
Other than the User ID and password, you are required
to enter your company ID for logging in. The company ID
introduces an additional authentication requirement and
makes Tanqaa more secure. The password has to be of certain
length and should contain certain special characters in
order to be valid. Please do not share your login
information with anyone including authorized representatives
of Tandem. Please change your password often as a good
security measure.

Session Expiration
|
After
logging into Tanqaa, if you keep your browser inactive for
a certain amount of time, your session automatically expires
to prevent unauthorised access to your account. If your
session expires, you will need to log in again to access
Tanqaa.
Session Cookies Our server issues a session cookie only to
record session ID for the duration of a session. The session
cookie does not include either the user ID, Company ID or
password. |
