About the auxiliary EA trustee management system
Our Pension Finance Department has developed a powerful auxiliary EA trustee management system based on years of research, auxiliary trustee consultations, and experience in EA operations. By addressing the bottlenecks affecting the conventional management model, the system enables the EA board to intelligently control risks in EA operations and management, and serve as the EA fund operator, manager and decision-maker.
With full flexibility and strong security features, the system supports standard and customized operations.
Our system provides the following distinctive capabilities:
1. Enhanced EA security through login authentication and strict access right control
1) Access via the mobile digital certificate
Powered by cutting-edge encryption technology that builds on digital signatures and strong communication channels protected by cryptography, our mobile digital certificate authenticates user identity and secures data transmissions. By isolating authentication data from hard disks, the system significantly reduces the risk of data theft. The U-Key access model applies the highest Internet security levels to safeguard the operation and management activities of EA board members.
At the end of 2007, our digital authentication system passed the security certification test conducted by the State Cryptography Administration, marking us the first and only bank with a nationally certified security system.
2) Strict access rights control
Our auxiliary EA trustee management system assigns different powers to different users to prevent unauthorized operations. The system grants different operation, inquiry and management powers to different managers, and defines the access rights in EA plans and subsidiaries for managers at different levels.
In addition to maintaining the independence and security of EA information, the solution gives different access rights to different users.
2. Both standard and individualized settings
1) Internet-based client settings
Based on IE interfaces, the system revolutionizes the traditional client access model by granting users access through a PnP mobile digital certificate for EA operation and management.
The system does not require installation, supports automatic upgrades, and enables access anytime anywhere.
2) Smart data transfer
Breaking away from the industry practice of complex and repetitive configurations, our system transmits data based on file templates and smart field configurations. As well as providing a standard template for data collection from private ports, the solution supports various data formats defined by different EA management agencies, thus increasing data collection and transfer efficiency.
3) One-stop service based on complete functionality
The EA board plays a central role in an EA plan as its duties and powers span the entire process of EA management from daily operations, data storage, maintenance, supervision and the evaluation of each fund management agency to strategic asset allocation and portfolio risk control.
