Thawte SGC Supercert

thawte's new SGC SuperCert now automatically steps up to 128bit 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.

Overview

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.

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.

Why is this important?

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.
