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.
CODE

Thawte's Code Signing certificate confirms publisher details and
content integrity of downloadable code. It is strongly recommended
for any publisher who plans to distribute code or content over the
Internet or corporate extranets.

content such as ActiveX, Macros and Java Applets, for secure electronic
distribution over the Internet.
