SSL123 certificate
- A thawte SSL123 certificate provides validation that your domain is registered and that you have authorized the purchase of the certificate.
- Through SSL encryption, the certificate assures that information is kept private between your web server and your clients' web browsers.
- The certificate inspires trust in those who are considering communicating/transacting with you.
SSL Web Server certificate
- 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.
- The domain for which the certificate was issued. This allows customers to check that the certificate was issued for your domain (URL).
- The legal owner of the certificate. This acts as further reassurance, since customers are able to see whom they are doing business with.

SGC SuperCert
thawte's new SGC SuperCert now automatically steps up to 128-bit encryption for certain end-users with the Windows 2000 operating system who, in the past, would not receive 128-bit encryption irrespective of the version of Internet Explorer used. The systems affected are those that shipped prior to about March of 2001 and did not subsequently have Microsoft's High Encryption pack or Service Pack 2 installed. thawte's SGC SuperCert ensures that all these site visitors enjoy the protection of the strongest SSL encryption available.
An SGC SuperCert from thawte will allow you to extend 128-bit encryption to your customers, even if they use browsers (IE 4.X or Netscape 4.06 and later) limited to 40-bit or 56-bit encryption capabilities.
