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.

SSL is something that everyone uses, but dealing with it is a rare occasion. SSL technology does everything for itself and hardly is there a need of a human involvement of any kind in a day-to-day affair. This naturally creates confusion when a problem arises. Here, I have tried to help SSL users with the few ailments that they often become a victim of.

SSL scuffle: This happens when you accidentally find out that your SSL Certificate has expired only after being informed on quite a few SSL errors as complained from the customers. I would say what makes this happen is the negligence and carelessness. You clearly receive the date of expiration on your SSL Certificate that gets back from the CA. Reminder emails can be filled and forgotten or may go unnoticed in the absence of a concerned person. The best you can do is to put your SSL’s expiry date in a personal space such as your Outlook or Google calendar.

Domain name mismatch: The nature of the problem is associated with whether your site shows up as “sitename.com” or “www.sitename.com.” The problem is not with the opening of the site with punching in a URL “www.sitename.com” for a domain that’s registered as “sitename.com” as you get an automatic HTTP 301 redirect to “sitename.com,” but the domain name consistency is needed for the functioning of your SSL Certificate. If you have taken your SSL Certificate for “www.sitename.com” and you link to “sitename.com,” SSL Certificate will not recognize it as the correct domain, except a Wildcard Certificate, and you will get an SSL warning. To avoid this from happening, make sure that you pick the fully qualified domain name in the field “common-name” while applying for an SSL.

Intermediate SSL Certificates: This is the perhaps the biggest confusion. It is a necessity now with most CAs to use the intermediate SSL Certificates. These are responsible for protecting your root CA key and also allow companies that have not gotten their root certificates into your browser to sell SSL Certificates. Well, each certificate authority may have several different intermediate certificates and you need to pick the right one. In order to make sure that you do this, test it using a validation tool from your certificate authority vendor.

If you log on to the world of internet for the first time and participate in any activity requiring information transmission, security will be the very first issue to float inside your mind. While numerous businesses have opted the way to sell products or services online, what’s making this phenomenon secure and the online entities trusted? They are SSL Certificates beyond a doubt!

Ecommerce businesses are helped by SSL in two different ways:

Winning trust and confidence of the customers: While this helps people to encourage doing business with you, it also helps by spreading the positive word about your organization. As soon as your visitors see a small padlock symbol and other SSL security indicators, they come to know that they have entered a secured site. They become confident and worriless regarding divulging their confidential personal information such as credit card details or personal IDs to initiate any dealings with you. The good will builds up and the message of you being a secure, trusted online destination passes from one source to another, which is no less than any expensive form of publicity.

Portraying your business as a serious, responsible undertaking: This is paramount to any business owner looking forward to expand and develop in the online realm. On one hand, SSL technology secures information exchanges over your website via data encryption, and on the other, SSL services help you to establish as a reputable online dealer. Renowned SSL certification authorities offer a range of certificates where a class of these incorporates checking the authenticity of the website owners, confirming and verifying that they actually are what they say they are. This provides companies a way to prove their genuine, serious intentions of conducting an online business in front of the respective industry and their customers. You get highly entrusted as a web business owner, which you would not have achieved effortlessly amidst the ever-increasing internet crimes of phishing and identity thefts. Displaying the security seal and the name and logo of the trusted SSL Certificate provider, you can very well earn the reputation of a good company.

An SSL Certificate will not only drive traffic inwards the website but will get the actual sales benefit for your online business. Go for SSL security and let your customers value and respect your Ecommerce presence and continue to do business with you feeling absolutely safe and secure.
