SGC SSL Certificates & Strong 256 bit Secure Servers

GlobalSign SSL Certificates include 256 bit and 128 bit "step up" SGC encryption enabling technology. These enabling technologies are often added as "pro" services and carry a premium price. Every GlobalSign SSL Certificate is capable of 256 bit strong SSL, and includes step-up SGC technology that forces weak browsers to stronger browsers free of charge.

Get the most from older browsers - 128 bit "step-up" SGC SSL SGC is a secure server SSL Certificate which "enhances" SSL technology to deliver strong (128-bit) encryption during an internet browsing session between the web server and the older legacy Microsoft browsers (version 4.723612.1713 and above), without SGC these older browsers are forced to connect using weak 40 bit encryption. SGC addresses the need for additional security in especially sensitive electronic transactions or communications, and are currently available to banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, health and medical organisations, online merchants where support for strong encryption levels in legacy Microsoft browsers is essential. Only GlobalSign and VeriSign can provide SGC enabled certificates that provide the highest levels of browser recognition and step up encryption strengths, but ONLY GlobalSign provides SGC free of charge!

Get the most from newer browsers - 256 Bit Enabled SSL In recent years computing power has increased to the level that 40 bit security can be cracked by brute force computing in a matter of hours. 40 bit encryption is therefore considered insecure. If you are using the latest web server software and your web site visitors are using the latest browsers, a GlobalSign SSL Certificate is capable of delivering 256 bit encryption. This level of encryption delivers the highest possible security, and using the same computation power that would crack 40 bit encryption in hours, will take billions of years to crack 256 bit encryption.
