What's a cert and why?


SSL WEB SERVER CERTIFICATES

Thawte SSL Web Server certificates:
Confirms that you are who you say you are in a virtual world.
Encrypts information sent to and from your web server.
Protects information from being tampered with.

You need one if:

You conduct online transactions via your web site.
You receive/send information of a personal nature via your web site.
You wish to inspire trust in those who communicate with you via your web site.
You require secure server to server communication

The standard web server certificate offers 128, 56 or 40-bit encryption, depending on your client's browser capability. The Thawte SGC SuperCert offers automatic step-up technology that connects at 128-bit, no matter what browser your client is using. A Thawte SGC SuperCert is recommended for communication with international browsers, as some of these still use 40-bit or 56-bit encryption, and are much more vulnerable to the interception of information. The majority of US browsers are automatically enabled to use 128-bit encryption.
 


SGC SUPERCERT

What is a SGC SuperCert?
A SGC SuperCert from Thawte will allow you to extend 128-bit encryption to all your customers, even if they use browsers limited to 40-bit or 56-bit encryption capabilities.

How is this possible?
A SGC SuperCert enables Server Gate Cryptography (SGC) or "Step-Up" functionality in your Netscape or Microsoft browser and turns 40-bit and 56-bit browsers into 128-bit strong browsers while users are visiting your site.

Why is this important?
In the past, browser versions developed for export from the US were not automatically enabled to support 128-bit encryption. These browsers used 40-bit or 56-bit encryption, which is much more vulnerable to the interception of information while in transit.

A substantial number of these browsers are still in use today, even within the United States. This means that a sizable portion of your international customer base may be unable to enjoy the benefits of 128-bit encryption. Thawte's SGC SuperCert solution allows you to provide all of your customers with the strongest possible encryption on the web.
