SSL Certificates
-
Hi all, My company is thinking about setting up online transactions with an SSL server, so am I correct in thinking we need an SSL certificate? Is this necessary? I have looked at Verisign, which is quite famous, but its really expensive compared to others. Is it worth this much extra? What about Thawte? Is that any good? Anybody know any other good ones? Thanks in advance Anthony Bates

It's to my understanding that the verisign certificate means little more "we (meaning verisign) approve of this websites online transactions". Personally so long as I see the little lock in the browser window and I know my data is being encrypted from client to server and it's a site I trust...I could care less if there even is a certificate. :cool: Nevermind super expensive stupid verisign...being all greedy...I hate companies like that...how is the little guy supposed to get ahead? Bullshite!!! Thats all it is...IMHO anyways :) Cheers! "Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do!" - Alex Barylski :)

I don't know much about it, but from what I have read I tend to agree with you. It seems that they have just teamed up with Microsoft (they are a partner) to charge money for nothing. It's not as if their checks they do on your business are particularly strict - you just have to have a bit of money in the bank. And I've never met a rich crook... Anthony

We use Thawte, and we've never had any problems.
