Commerce Security Services

 

Our commerce security services include our commerce site services and secure payments services.

 

Commerce Site Services.    Commerce site services include our server digital certificate services and content signing digital certificate services. Server certificate services enable Internet merchants to implement and operate secure Web sites that utilize SSL protocol. These services provide Internet merchants with the means to identify themselves to consumers and to encrypt communications between consumers and their Web site. Our content signing digital certificate services provide software developers the means to identify themselves and the validity of their software to the consumers and relying software applications.

 

We currently offer the following Web server digital certificate services and content signing digital certificate services. Each is differentiated by the target application of the server that hosts the digital certificate.

 

  •   Secure Site and Secure Site Pro.    Secure Site is our standard service offering that enables 40-bit SSL encryption when communicating with export-version Netscape® and Microsoft® Internet Explorer browsers and 128-bit SSL encryption when communicating with domestic-version Microsoft and Netscape browsers. We also offer an upgraded version of this service, called Secure Site Pro, which enables 128-bit SSL encryption with both domestic and export versions of Microsoft and Netscape browsers. Secure Site Pro also includes a third party site availability monitoring evaluation, a network security monitoring trial, a site performance monitoring evaluation, and additional warranty protection.

 

  •   Commerce Site and Commerce Site Pro.    Our Commerce Site and Commerce Site Pro offerings combine the features and functionality of our Secure Site offerings with our secure payment services offerings, providing existing sites that want to offer e-commerce solutions with a suite of services to secure and process online payments.

 

  •   Content Signing Certificates.    We offer several code signing certificates based on the platform for which customers wish to sign the code. Platforms include Microsoft Authenticode, Microsoft Office and VBA, Symbian, Sun Java, Netscape, Microsoft Smartphone, Macromedia Shockwave and Marimba Castanet. Microsoft Authenticode certificates are also used to authenticate developers for various Microsoft logo programs.

 

  •   Thawte Branded Digital Certificates.    We offer SSL and Code Signing security services under the Thawte brand. These services use the same underlying infrastructure, and are targeted at small business and independent software developers.

 

Secure Payments Services.    Using our payment gateway, Internet merchants are able to securely authorize and settle a variety of payment types, including credit, debit and purchase cards, electronic checks, and automated clearing house transactions over the Internet.
