SSL Digital
Certificates
Confidence. Trust.
Security.
Offering customers
secure online data exchange has never been more important. SSL
Certificates work in two ways: authenticating websites to ensure the
owner is who they say they are and encrypting information sent to a
website or between servers to keep it safe.
SSL Certificates make a
perfect add on to domain name sales and are built directly into the
Multivira management platform, making it easy for you to provision SSL
Certificates to your customers. Multivira offers its resellers GeoTrust
SSL Certificates at wholesale pricing, a cost-effective way to offer
industry-leading protection.
What are SSL
Certificates?
Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) is a protocol that secures data sent across the Internet. A server
must have an SSL certificate installed to make a secure connection and
safely transfer information. The certificate is an electronic file that
uniquely identifies individuals and servers.
Typically, digital
certificates are signed by an independent and trusted third party to
ensure their validity. The "signer" of a certificate is known as a
Certification Authority (CA). Multivira resells GeoTrust SSL
Certificates. GeoTrust is a leader in identity verification and trust
services, and the second largest certificate authority in the world. The
proven brand integrity of GeoTrust lets you know you are offering your
customers a name they can trust.
Why should I sell them?
There are two online
security problems that SSL certificates help solve:
-
Authentication - prove a company's (or server's) identity
online to create a sense of trust and confidence.
- Encryption
- offer protection for the data submitted to a website (or between
servers) so that in the event of interception, it will be
unintelligible without the unique key used for decryption.
Solving these security
problems protects your customers from spoofing, unauthorized disclosure
and data alteration.
What are the practical
applications of SSL Certificates?
The most common purpose
of SSL Certificates is to secure the transmission of financial
information in ecommerce. But with identity theft on the rise and more
and more businesses opening up their networks via the Internet,
protecting all types of personally identifiable information (social
security numbers, login information) and key business information is
important. SSL Certificates should be used to secure the following:
- Web servers
- Mail servers
- Webmail
- Databases
- FTP sites
- Internet chat
- NNTP
- Login pages
- Web portals

True BusinessID Wildcard
is a good solution if you need to secure multiple fully-qualified
domains that reside on the same physical server and share the same
second-level domain name.
For example, if you need
to secure the following websites:
- www.yourdomain.com
-
secure.yourdomain.com
-
product.yourdomain.com
- info.yourdomain.com
-
download.yourdomain.com
-
anything.yourdomain.com
If all of these websites
are hosted on the same server box, you can purchase and install one
Wildcard Certificate issued to *.yourdomain.com to secure them all. The
number of sub domains that you can use the Wildcard Certificate to
secure is unlimited. Additional licenses are required to span the
wildcard certificate across multiple physical servers.
