Thawte SGC Supercerts help keep all online transaction secure by enforcing strong encryption even to those users with older browsers. Most SSL certificates are capable of strong encryption (128-bit or 256-bit), however certain older browsers and operating systems cannot step up to 128-bit encryption unless an SSL certificate with Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) is used.
SGC Supercerts is an organization validated SSL with root certificates included in over 99% of browsers which means customer confidence will not be lost to security alerts. Thawte SSL Web Server will protect confidential information exchanged on the internet with up to 256-bit encryption, includes the Thawte Trusted Site Seal and Thawte $500,000 warranty.
Read the white paper on Server Gated Cryptography for more information regarding SGC and the Thawte SGC Supercerts SSL certificate.
