Symantec^™

The Symantec^™ Wildcard SSL Certificate provides SSL encryption on multiple sub-domains using a single certificate with up to 256-bit encryption, $500,000 warranty and the Norton^™ Secured Seal.

For example, a wildcard certificate issued to Company ABC using the Common Name ("*.CompanyABC.com") may be used to secure the following sub-domains:

• login.companyABC.com
• payment.companyABC.com
• support.companyABC.com
• anythingyouwant.companyABC.com

Wildcard certificates are extremely convenient and can be extremely cost-effective; however some limitations do exist, which include the following:

     - If for whatever reason, your wildcard certificate must be revoked, all of your sub-domains will also        need a new certificate.
     - Sometimes wildcard certificates do not work perfectly with some older server-client configurations.        Not typical, but still exists.

The Norton^™ Secured Seal is the most trusted mark on the internet and is viewed half a billion times per day on websites in 170 countries. The Symantec Seal-in-Search displays the Norton Secured Seal next to your link on browsers enabled with a free plug-in as well as on partner shopping sites and product review pages.
