Сертифікат SGC SuperCerts
Важливим показником безпеки сертифіката є розмір використаного в ньому кодового числа -- так звана довжина ключа. Донедавна законодавство США обмежувало експорт технологій криптозащиты з великою довжиною ключа. У зв'язку з цим більшість використовуваних у світі версій браузерів та іншого мережного ПО можуть працювати лише з ключами не довше 40 біт. Такий рівень захисту не відповідає сучасним вимогам безпеки. Для виправлення ситуації Thawte надає своїм корпоративним клієнтам Суперсертифікати (SuperCerts) із ключами довжиною 128 біт. Ключ такої довжини на нинішньому рівні розвитку комп'ютерної техніки неможливо розкрити за розумний проміжок часу (менш терміну дії сертифіката). Особливістю Суперсертифіката є те, що, навіть якщо клієнт використовує міжнародну версію браузера з коротким ключем, для захисту з'єднання із сервером -- власником Суперсертифіката все рівно буде застосована надійна 128-бітна технологія. Суперсертифікати Thawte розпізнаються браузерами Іnternet Explorer 5.01, Netscape Communіcator 4.7, і усіма версіями вище. Компанія Thawte одержала спеціальну ліцензію уряду США, що дає право випускати сертифікати, що дозволяють міжнародним версіям браузерів працювати з 128-бітним шифруванням. Нові правила експорту американських технологій шифрування даних набрали сили 14 січня 2000 року. Відповідно до їх вимог Thawte може надавати Суперсертифікати будь-якій неурядовій структурі і будь-якій комерційній урядовій організації (крім виробників озброєння) у будь-якій країні, крім Афганістану, Куби, Ірану, Іраку, Лівії, Північної Кореї, Сербії, Судану і Сирії. Premium Server Gated Cryptography SSL certificates with full authentication and automatic 128-bit step-up encryption What is a thawte SGC SuperCert? thawte's new SGC SuperCert now automatically steps up to 128-bit encryption for certain end-users with the Windows 2000 operating system who, in the past, would not receive 128-bit encryption irrespective of the version of Internet Explorer used. The systems affected are those that shipped prior to about March of 2001 and did not subsequently have Microsoft's High Encryption pack or Service Pack 2 installed. thawte's SGC SuperCert ensures that all these site visitors enjoy the protection of the strongest SSL encryption available. An SGC SuperCert from thawte will allow you to extend 128-bit encryption to your customers, even if they use browsers (IE 4.X or Netscape 4.06 and later) limited to 40-bit or 56-bit encryption capabilities. New: SGC SuperCert certificate contents can now include Internationalized characters including Internationalized Domain Names. Click here to find out more about this great new feature. How is this possible? A thawte SGC SuperCert enables Server Gate Cryptography (SGC) or "Step-Up" functionality in your Netscape or Microsoft browser and turns 40-bit and 56-bit browsers into 128-bit strong browsers (IE 4.X or Netscape 4.06 and later) while users are visiting your site. Why is this important? In the past, browser versions developed for export from the US were not automatically enabled to support 128-bit encryption. These browsers used 40-bit or 56-bit encryption, which is much more vulnerable to the interception of information while in transit. These browsers are still in use today, even within the United States . This means that a sizable portion of your international customer base may be unable to enjoy the benefits of 128-bit encryption. thawte's SGC SuperCert solution allows you to provide your customers with the strongest possible encryption on the web. Why a thawte SGC SuperCert? It’s all about trust. thawte offers highest-level authentication and verification procedures with the SGC SuperCert and is one of the most respected Certification Authorities (CAs) globally. thawte’s stringent authentication is “bullet-proof”, which is why we have been trusted as an independent authority to sign digital certificates since the early days of the Internet. 128-bit encryption Cryptographers consider 128-bit encryption practically impossible to crack (it would take millions of years with the fastest computers to try all the combinations). With 128-bit encryption you can ensure that your international customer base will be able to exchange information with you using the strongest possible encryption. What does a thawte SGC SuperCert offer you? The most stringent levels of authentication to minimize the possibilities of fraud and promote a trusted relationship between you and your customers. In summary, if you want to ensure that you are providing the best possible encryption for each and every visitor to your website, you need thawte’s new SGC SuperCert. By installing a thawte SGC SuperCert you are effectively making a statement that nothing less than the best possible online security is good enough for you. The benefits of installing a thawte SGC SuperCert are numerous: Benefits to your customers
If you want to ensure that you are providing the best possible encryption for each and every visitor to your website, you need thawte’s new SGC SuperCert. Additional new benefit A major software vendor has released a beta version of their browser that will have automatic certificate revocation checking as a default option. This new checking protocol will maximize the speed of checking the status of thawte certificates and will minimise the possibilities of online fraud as invalid certificates and companies will immediately be exposed to the end customer. thawte has invested in a significant infrastructure to move from using the old Certificate Revocation List (CRL) to this new Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), something not all CAs will be able to provide and support. And last but not least… thawte has the resources and experience to stay ahead of the rest, and always offers the best-of-breed products and product support. Is the SGC SuperCert the right product for me? All businesses with a global customer base need thawte's SGC SuperCert, since many international customers still make use of 40-bit and 56-bit 'export' browsers that do not offer automatic 128-bit encryption. If you want to ensure that you are providing the best possible encryption for each and every visitor to your website, you need thawte’s new SGC SuperCert. How does thawte's SGC SuperCert solution work? A thawte SGC SuperCert enables "SGC" or "Step-Up" functionality in Netscape and Microsoft browsers and turns 40-bit and 56-bit browsers into 128-bit strong browsers (IE 4.X or Netscape 4.06 and later) while users are visiting your site. There are only a limited number of Certification Authorities that have been awarded the trusted status and license to use this SGC technology. thawte is one of them. How do I extend 128-bit strong encryption to my customers? The beauty of thawte's SGC SuperCert solution is that your customers’ browers (IE 4.X or Netscape 4.06 and later) are automatically bumped up to 128-bit protection when they access your secure server, which means that they do not need to install any software to enjoy the protection offered by strong encryption. Why is 128-bit encryption important? Experts consider 128-bit encryption to be virtually 'uncrackable'. 40-bit and 56-bit encryption are much more vulnerable to the interception of information. Why choose thawte's SGC SuperCert ?
Can I use local language characters with thawte’s SGC SuperCerts? Yes. thawte has invested in enhancing its systems to ensure that you can get a certificate issued with local language characters included in the certificate details. E.g. You can now get a certificate issued with an Internationalized Domain Name such as ССЛ безопасность .net included in the certificate details.
