SSL Certificates

DigiCert is the industry’s most trusted and respected provider of high-assurance certificates, trusted by the world’s leading companies to secure billions of transactions, worth billions of dollars, every day. For good reason. Since their founding nearly two decades ago, DigiCert has been committed to doing what’s right for the internet, putting people at the forefront of technology and constantly searching for a better way to solve tomorrow’s most challenging problems. From innovative tools to make the certification process faster and easier to manage, to security solutions for the post-quantum computing era, DigiCert is the common denominator in SSL, IoT and PKI solutions.

As the number of website visitors choosing to shop, share content, bank, or manage accounts online increases, so do their expectations for security. However, concerns about identity theft and fraud are preventing many visitors from initiating or completing online transactions. They need to be assured that the confidential information they use will be protected from malicious activity.

The best way to prove the identity of a website on the Internet is to use an SSL digital certificate. An SSL certificate relies on a trusted third party, accredited to provide certification services, called a certificate authority. This authority verifies the identity of the company that owns the website and then validates it with a digital certificate. This certificate is automatically included in the authority’s chain of trust, providing verifiable security in the Internet browser.

Organizations that process transactions or sell services over the Internet rely on SSL certificates to validate that they are who they claim to be and to ensure trust in the services they provide.

The Norton™ security seal on a DigiCert SSL-secured website assures visitors that they can use that website safely. It is displayed nearly a billion times every day, on websites in 150 countries and in search engine results.

With DigiCert Secure Site EV certificates, customers are assured of the highest level of authentication, which means the highest level of consumer trust in their site and brand. Choose between the DigiCert or Norton Secure Seal: Powered by DigiCert Seal to boost conversion rates by giving customers an irreversible, browser-visible indication that your site is trustworthy.

Additionally, Secure Site customers have exclusive access to the fastest validation experience available. Before issuing an EV certificate, DigiCert will fully validate the following information:

More trust means more business for websites that have DigiCert Secure Site EV SSL certificates. They add an extra layer of security that customers can immediately recognize and trust.

Wildcard certificates are SSL certificates that allow all subdomains to be secured with a single SSL certificate issued for the entire domain.

A wildcard certificate can be more flexible than using multiple single-purpose certificates because you can apply the wildcard certificate to a number of different subdomains. You can add, change, or replace subdomains without having to update the certificate or purchase new certificates.

A single wildcard certificate issued for *.domain.ro can secure the following subdomains:

However, it cannot secure:

DigiCert SSL certificates allow multiple domains to be included in a single certificate through the SAN attribute. Unlike wildcard certificates that can secure an unlimited number of subdomains as long as the domain name remains unchanged, SAN certificates only secure the subdomains and domains listed in the certificate.

SAN certificates are also called Unified Communications Certificates (UCC) because they were created to support real-time communications infrastructures.

SAN or UCC certificates are useful when you want to use different domain names. For example, an organization that offers internal services at sip.domain.ro and an external domain sipservice.domain.com can use a single SAN SSL certificate to secure both domains.

More trust means more business for websites that have DigiCert Secure Site EV SSL certificates. They add an extra layer of security that customers can immediately recognize and trust.
