Have A “Verisign” Or Similar Certificate – Improve Conversions Immediately!

One of the most popular security certifying authorities, VeriSign enabled websites are considered to be much safer. VeriSign is basically a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate Authority that enables secure transaction over the internet including online communications, e-commerce, interaction within websites, intranets, as well as extranets. Why VeriSign? There are plenty of reasons for choosing VeriSign but here are some statistics that will help you get more information about the company.

1.    VeriSign has been securing more than a million Web servers throughout the world and this number is the highest for any Online Certificate Authority.
2.    VeriSign SSL certificated is being currently used by some of the 40 largest/biggest banks across the world. According to a survey, almost 95% of all Fortune 500 companies have also chosen VeriSign SSL Certificates.
3.    More than 75% of Websites over the internet have been using the Extended Validation SSL by VeriSign and this includes some of the biggest companies in insurance, banking, and e-commerce.
4.    The VeriSign Secured® Seal is displayed in more than 90,000 domains across 145 countries and is considered as the most recognized and reputable trust mark over the Internet.

Reasons for Choosing VeriSign or other similar certificates like Cyber Trust, WebTrust, and GeoTrust are very important because the internet is also a dangerous place. There is no dearth of hackers and crackers who if given the smallest opportunity will rip you of your hard earned money, identity, customers and create havoc. Hence, having a Secure Sockets Layer encryption will safeguard your interests as well as that of your customers.

VeriSign is the biggest SSL certification authority and they also offer the strongest SSL encryption. Their SSL encryption consists of the following:

1.    High-level encryption: They offer a high level encryption at 128 bits, which is able to calculate 288 times as many combinations as a 40-bit encryption can. This means that it is more than a trillion times stronger.
2.    VeriSign offers true 128-bit SSL Certificates that have Server Gated Cryptography (SGC). SGC enables every website visitor a secure experience over the internet.
3.    As of date and according to records, VeriSign is considered as the leading provider of SSL encryption certificate that enables 128-bit or 256-bit encryption for Internet users.

In order to obtain a VeriSign SSL certificate, you will need to follow these steps:

•    You will have to generate a CSR or a Certificate Signing Request that has to be sent to the respective Certificate Authority, which is VeriSign. This process will also help you to generate a private key, which will be stored only on your server.
•    You will receive a .CER file, which is the signed request from VeriSign or the Certificate Authority.
•    You will then be required to complete the CSR using the.CER file so that you can associate the private key to your signed request
•    The next step is to take a backup of the issued certificate with the associated certificate chain to the .PFX file
•    Now you need to import the certificate and send it to the Load Computer certificate store
•    It is important at this point to conduct a visual check of the security certificate. You will also need to check the associated certificate path so that you can ensure application of correct properties
•    Last but not the least; you will need to run the LoadCert.exe utility in order to complete the association of your security certificate with the provisioning service.
