Why SGC and Why VeriSign

Why SGC: Strongest Encryption for the Most Visitors

Many take for granted that strong encryption (at least 128-bit) is universal today. In reality, legacy software issues may expose client systems to weak encryption (40-bit or 56-bit). According to Yankee Group, “the number of people still subject to weak encryption because they are using older versions of Windows and Internet Explorer is in the tens of millions.” SGC is the technology used to help these legacy client systems step-up to 128-bit encryption. Deploying SGC-enabled certificates can offer strong encryption to over 99.9% of site visitors.
