Highest security needed for banking transactions

I am new to my Linksys wireless WRT160NV2 router and I'd like someone to assure me of the safety in using the router for banking transactions. It's in my home, and I only bought it so my son could connect video game platforms wirelessly.
My computer is connected by wire to one of the WRT160's ethernet ports. I'm hoping this is more secure.
This may be a stupid question, but can anyone tell me if a hacker can use the wireless connection (assuming he can get through WPA encryption) to access my wired computer. I need absolute security with banking transactions. Put another way, is my wired computer just as safe as before having the wireless router?

The quick answer for you is 'yes'. However, the chances of it occurring is not even slim... but none. If you think there are people driving around aimlessly stiffing out networks in your neighborhood from their car trying to break the security to get to your computer.... well, it's just not happening. There are plenty of unsecured networks around, in parking lots, Starbucks and whatever, they can just get on there. WEP has been broken, WPA has been broken. I have never read anything anywhere where someone has got on a secured network, by breaking the security code and stole data from the average person. Your wireless has to transmit about a 1Mb burst that they have to capture in order to start the decoding.
The only reason people break the security is that it's a challenge to them and fun. I just use WEP, MAC address filtering (which can be spoofed also), software firewall and the routers firewall. Heck, my share drives aren't even passworded.
In my neighborhood, there are seven wireless networks of which four are unsecured. The crooks will like them before anyone else.
Bottom line... don't even worry about it.

Dear Sri,
It seems that Validation has been defined in your system to prevent another document type to be used for the banking transaction....
You can check validation defined in transaction GGB0...
Check the validation assigned to your company code in transaction OB28..

Is there any internet security needed for use with the ipad 2??

is there any internet security needed for the ipad 2? I.e. For when you're shopping online etc?

You don't have to purchase a mouse. You already have one, it's wireless and the only one that will work on an iPad.

Why the need for bank subaccounts?

Why do we need bank subaccounts? What is the logic behind this? Why can't we use the main bank account to make outgoing or receive incoming payments?
Thanks in advance. Points available.

Bank sub accounts are generally required if Bank Reconciliation (especially Electronic Bank Reconciliation) are performed in SAP. If I try to explain in simple terms it is as follows. The bank statement received from a bank will have several transaction types such as cheque payment, deposits, EFT etc. Even if you look at the statement these transactions are identified via transaction type ( E.g. CHQ). Similarly, SAP requires these external transaction types to be mapped via Transaction Types and posting rules. Therefore ideally, there will be a different sub bank accounts created for each Cheque Payment, Deposits, Miscellaneous Debits etc. I have found this a very good process where at any given time (if bank reconciliations are performed on a daily basis) each sub account would represent Unpresented Cheques or Unrealized Deposits while the main bank account will match with the balance as per the bank statement.
Hope this was helpful.

Functional Module needed for banking details printing.

Hello Experts,
Maybe you have already got in touch with a FM, which retrieves bank account details like bank account number, bank key, SWIFT code (table T012K). My problem is not only to retrieve all the data but also to print this data on an invoice in the way which fulfill the legal requirements of the destination country and/or currency. Do you know about such standard SAP functionality?
Thanks for your help in advance and wish you a very nice day .
Regards,
Rittik

Possible ways
1. Call fm RFC_READ_TABLE and give destination and table name ( But i am not sure how it will work SCIF enviornment of APO)
or
2. Create a custom function module in APO side and call from R/3 side using destnation option

TxDataSource needed for flat transactions?

Hi all,
I have a question about TxDataSource. I've read that TxDataSource have more overhead
then plain DataSource. Is it better to use plain DataSources -IF- I don't use
distributed transactions in my EJB/JSP ? I think I could simply switch to TxDataSource
if in the future out app will involve new DB resources.....
thanks
Francesco

FrancescoIf you want EJB transactional semantics, you must use a TxDataSource. It's not any slower
than a regular DataSource, except where it has to, to provide the transactional guarantees.

I just installed version 7 of Firefox and afterwards it told me my security module for my firm's bank account was disabled. Now I can't access my account and the bank is in Brazil. I MUST make transactions from the US. How can I go back?

I just intalled version 7 of firefox and afterwards it told me it had disabled a security module for access to my bank account. The account and my company are in Brazil and I am in the US. I must have access to perform transactions. Had the program warned me I would not have "upgraded". To reinstall the security module I must be physically in Brazil because a code is text messaged to my local cell phone as one of the securty precautions and I am in the US and Europe for t3 to 4 weeks. I need to make a wire transfer during that time and cannot do so now. How can I go back to the old version and recover the bank access? Thank you.

You can download last Firefox 6 version from [http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-6.0/ Here]

Ask for helps and comments for a practicing ADF sample: Entering bank transaction records

Dear experts:
I'm redeveloping a practicing ADF sample application based on an exist application system of my company.
Here is the goal for this redeveloping:
What degree of productivity can adf achieve compare to eclipse?
And hereby is a small example I began from last Monday. some progress has been achieved, but pretty lot of difficulties remained,
so I post all neccessary informations to this forum, and ask for your kind helps and comments.
Thank you all in advance!
Introduction
The X company has some bank accounts in different banks, also it’s customers may have more than one bank account in different banks. Transactions between the X company’s bank accounts and it’s new or regular customers’ bank accounts happened heavily in daily. Bank transfer records in paper form will be collected and need to be entered into an in-house Financial System(NX1) of the X company every day.
This module will implement the function of Entering Bank transactions records for NX1.
In future, this Data Entering work for NX1 will be handled by some data exchange interface automatically.
And the following implementation will be based on ORACLE XE 11g, Jdev/ADF 12c.
This link can download the document for the example, I will upload Database scripts and JDEV application files tonight.

Hi, Timo and Frank,
Thank you all for your kind replies and sound suggestions!
Now let me talk freely on this thread-and I will limit my topic scope within this Jdev/ADF Space’s theme but maybe in a more broad perspectives. And I will separate topics into different posts to avoid over length of each post. Hope you will have enough patience to read through this some long story!
Notice: Links in this article will refer to somewhere of OTN itself or a website of our own. There is no security concern on the server. For example:

What you are up to?
First of all, I need to make some introduction of myself to answer “what you are up to”.
I come from China, living and working at Shenzhen city which is close to Hong Kong. And now I am running a small software company with 20 employees, our main business is to develop database centered applications which include in-house workflow/information management systems and websites/portals for organizations.
I have a pretty strong conviction that software technology should emancipate people from routine trivial mental works, just like engines in the industry revolution free people from heavily physical works. So I have a strong inclination for everything to be “automated”.
For running a company, this “automation” will not only bring the “aesthetics of everything running by itself”, but also will mean more productivity, quality and profits.—After all, no-living stuff is always cheaper than living creatures, let alone to say human beings.
However, when we software industry tried to automate business fields for our clients, the process of making software itself was still a manpower intensive, less-automation business. and this result a expensive products.
More than 15 years ago, when I began to work in an IT department of a big organization, I got to know the Oracle Designer/Developer 2000, and have being a diligent FORM/REPORT programmer for more than 4 years. I like the concept and practice of declarative design and automated generation.
And then more years past, and I left that organization and began to run a software company myself. And during these days, the mainstream technology of software development had been web oriented, Java/J2EE which I had no idea totally. But we have other guys who had expertise on it. So I just leave these works and decisions to them. And it seemed works at the beginning.
But after several years of business operation of application development for clients, I found this was a difficult-money-earn business. Even if our guys had worked hard, project schedules’ delay, over budget, clients’ complain was easily happened. Sometime we had more projects/contracts than what we can undertake, but we dare not to hire more people. I was confused:
-Was it a common situation in this field all over the world?
-What’s the key factor should responsible for?
-Where to start to improve the situation?
I know there are many factors should responsible, it’s a complex situation. Find more talented people and give better incentives for them to work hard is one choice—but it’s also a difficult task especially for a small company like ours. So to start from easy and confine solution’s scope is:
-We have these guys now, what we can do best?
(To be continued)

Hi
I'v tried many times to update my applications however, my account can't do it because security code for my card is incorrect note that I'm sure my card details are correct completely so i need help to fix it as much as you can plz. Thnks

Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

Enable Secure communication for RFC destinations by using sm59 transaction

Dear friends,
We would like to enable secure communications for RFC destinations by using the sm59 transaction in our systems.
We need to do this manually, by changing the internal communication settings in a way they can communicate securely.
Any idea or advice on the way it can be done ?
We need to take each RFC, manually check it and secure it.
Thanks in advance,
Jordan

In SM59 open up a RFC destination and go to Logon & Security. There you can enable Trusted relashionship and activate status of secure protocol.
And yes you have to do it manually for the desired RFC's
