Thawte Digital Certificates

Secure your web site with an SSL Certificate.
SSL is suitable for your payment and sensitive website transactions.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a protocol developed by Netscape in 1996 which quickly became the method of choice for securing data transmissions across the Internet. SSL is an integral part of most web browsers and web servers and makes use of the public-and-private key encryption system developed by RSA.

If you intend on taking credit card payments direclty from your e-commerce website you will need to order a SSL Certificate Service.

In order to make an SSL connection, the SSL protocol requires that a server should have a digital certificate installed. A digital certificate is an electronic file that uniquely identifies individuals and servers. Digital certificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential which authenticate the server prior to the SSL session being established.

Typically, digital certificates are signed by an independent and trusted third party to ensure their validity. The “signer” of a certificate is known as a Certification Authority (CA), such as thawte. thawte, the Certification Authority chosen by hundreds of thousands, has been innovating and delivering trusted services for more than a decade.
