Features
The process of applying for a thawte signed digital certificate begins with the generation and submission of a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file. thawte then checks and verifies your right to use the domain name in question, and when satisfied, signs that request file, using the trusted thawte CA root key, and issues it to you as your certificate.
256-bit SSL encryption
thawte’s SSL123 certificates are capable of providing
256-bit encryption – the current industry standard.
With thawte, you are dealing with a “root”
certification authority
This means that thawte is not reliant on another
entity’s root infrastructure to deliver trusted SSL certificates to
its customers.

When you install a SSL123 Certificate on your server, your
customers will be able to view the following information:
- The domain to which the certificate was issued
- The validity dates of the certificate. This is extremely important, since it shows users when your SSL123 Certificate was issued and when it will expire

Benefits
Your choice of digital certificate depends mainly on whether you require
your company details added to the certificate contents. If not, then SSL123
is an ideal choice of product as it provides the added benefit of quick
issuance.

inserted in a digital certificate. This allows you to prove your company
identity online (and not just your domain name) which is of vital importance
in a variety of situations, most notably when conducting online commerce. If
this is something that is important to your business, you will need to
consider SSL Web Server Certificates or SGC SuperCerts.

paperwork within minutes* and at an affordable price, then SSL123 is the
right product for you.
