Netcraft’s June Survey of SSL Market Reinforces Leadership of VeriSign Brand Certificates Across the Internet

VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), the trusted Internet infrastructure service provider for the networked world, appeared to lead the global SSL marketplace with a 44.4 percent share, according to the latest Netcraft survey of publicly facing SSL Certificates on the Internet.

Presenting the most comprehensive and accurate view of the SSL market ever, the June Netcraft survey found a total of 1,502,281 distinct valid third-party SSL Certificates, out of which 667,429 feature SSL Certificates provided by VeriSign and its brands.

Compared to the 38.1 percent share of VeriSign in May as assigned by VeriSign, the June report of 44.4 percent market share is built up on a more complete accounting of the overall SSL market. There is a rise in VeriSign’s Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate market too, and that comes to 72.2 percent of the total 26,387 EV SSL Certificate in use on the Internet.

Tim Callan, Vice President of product marketing at VeriSign, responded, “The Netcraft June 2010 survey offers the most complete snapshot of the SSL market to date, showing not only that VeriSign has maintained its SSL leadership, but that our market share has been higher than previous surveys indicated. As Netcraft has access to more hostnames data, they will be able to report more accurate market share figures, which we believe will continue to be very favorable for VeriSign.

Extended Validation, the next generation of SSL Certificates, was designed to impart greater strength to Ecommerce security and to guard against phishing attacks. With the green color that it turns on at the address bar, your website is visibly more secure and trusted than with other types of certificates. Through it, Ecommerce merchants can increase trust and build long-term revenue with a reduction in shopping cart abandonment.

If you are looking for a feasible online business security solution involving multiple websites, EV Multi Domain SSL Certificates (MDCs) are a good choice. A single EV Multi-Domain SSL Certificate can secure your multiple websites, and yes, the regular EV SSL indicator, i.e. the green address bar, would be displayed to the visitors of all the websites secured with that one cert building their trust and assuring security of the highest levels. What convenience and cost-effectiveness for online businesses!

Use: EV green bar security on all the websites through an MDC represents a breakthrough in the web business arena by bringing a high level of commercial viability. You can specify up to 100 domains in the Subject Alternative Name field of a certificate through an MDC.

Comodo’s EV MDC Certificate costs less than what it costs for a lone EV SSL Certificate of some CAs. Its cost goes like this: $809.10 per year for 3 domains and $99.00 per additional domain year thereafter. With additional features such as SGC capability, dedicated account manager, and free phone priority, this Extended Validation Certificate becomes a complete trust package that’s unparalleled in the industry.

Benefits:

1# Save huge chunk of money per year over the cost of individual EV Certificates

2# On a single certificate, secure up to 100 fully qualified domain names

3# Additional domains can be added at any point during the lifecycle of the certificate costing you just $99.00 per cert per year

4# Easy to deploy using Comodo’s patent-pending EV-AUTO Enhancer technology

5# Simplify SSL management process with just one certificate to manage all your domains and enjoy the convenience

EV is the next generation of SSL Certificates – stringent verification processes developed by Certificate Authority (CA)/Browser Forum ensures your website is visibly more secure and trusted than with other types of certificates.

EV SSL Certificate: It’s a special type of SSL Certificate that not only guards the information between the browser and its final destination but also provides assurance that the final destination, i.e. the certificate requesting body, is authentic and legitimate as verified by the Certificate Authority (CA).

EV SGC SSL Certificate: It is a Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) enabled EV SSL Certificate. SGC provides the ability for a certificate to ‘up-rate’ older browsers that are only capable of weak, 40-bit encryption to ultra secure 128/256-bit encryption without the need to upgrade. It was introduced at a time when stringent United States encryption export laws would allow browsers an encryption only at 40-bit level. Understandably, there are still millions of users using these older browsers. Websites wishing to offer the highest level of trust and 256-bit encrypted transactions to the widest possible customer base should consider EV SGC SSL Certificates.

COMODO EV SSL Certificate vs. COMODO EV SGC SSL Certificate

Both offer full business validation, 128- to 256-bit strong encryption or 2048-bit industry standard encryption, lifespan unlimited re-issuance policy, and green address bar (an indicator of company’s verification by COMODO) supported with advanced browsers. COMODO provides the same strengths to both except that the EV SGC SSL Certificate employs SGC technology enabling the certificate to up-rate an older browser to 128/256-bit encryption without any need to upgrade.

So, there’s something extra with a COMODO EV SGC SSL Certificate and that is you can protect the widest customer base imaginable as SGC technology will upgrade older browsers, those with just 40-bit encryption level, so they can connect at full 128- or 256-bit encryption levels meaning you convert more sales by protecting more customers than with a regular SSL Certificate.
