In the global competition for Web services,
providers compete on price and service options. If you offer Web hosting,
design, or application development services, you can create more value
and capture more business by offering premium-brand SSL
Certificates.
Authentication and Trust
Your customers may not realize it, but they
may be losing business because potential buyers do not trust their sites.
According to TNS market research, seventy percent of online shoppers
have abandoned an online purchase because they didn’t get a sense of
security when it came time to provide payment information. Ninety percent
of these shoppers report that they would have completed the transaction
had a recognized trust mark, such as the VeriSign Secured™ Seal, been
present.
Every VeriSign-branded SSL Certificate includes
the VeriSign Secured Seal, the most trusted mark on the Internet. When
online shoppers see the VeriSign Secured Seal, they are more likely
to complete their transactions and trust the site. And by clicking on
the VeriSign Secured® Seal, they can view the authentication information
provided to VeriSign.

for resale.
Extended Validation SSL Certificates
Extended
Validation SSL gives Web site visitors an easy and reliable
way to extend their trust online. In Microsoft® Internet Explorer 7,
the address bar turns green and displays the name of the Extended Validation
SSL Certificate owner. The security status bar shows that the transaction
is encrypted and the organization has been authenticated according to
the most rigorous industry standard. To learn more about this offering,
please contact your VeriSign representative.
VeriSign Secure Site
The VeriSign
Secure Site SSL Certificate is a high value, premium brand
SSL Certificate. Secure Site fully-authenticated SSL Certificates enable
encryption at 256-bit, 128-bit, 56-bit, or 40-bit levels depending on
the client’s browser and the Web server configuration. Includes the
VeriSign Secured Seal and a $100,000 NetSure® warranty.
VeriSign Secure Site Pro
The VeriSign
Secure Site Pro SSL Certificate (SGC-enabled) enables every
site visitor to enjoy the strongest SSL encryption available to them.
This True 128-bit SSL Certificate includes the VeriSign Secured Seal
and a $250,000 NetSure warranty. For companies with their reputation
at stake, an SGC-enabled SSL Certificate with a premium brand provides
the best protection.
Code and Content Protection
A VeriSign
Code Signing Certificate is used by developers and distributors
of software, games, and other applications to help assure the integrity
and authorship of code or content distributed over the Internet or corporate
extranets. When customers download code, the digital signature confirms
that the software has come from the publisher, and that the code has
not been altered or corrupted during download. As code sales migrate
beyond computers to phones, handhelds, and other devices, more of your
customers may be providing products to these new markets and require
code signing certificates.
